A friend has an IBM compatible with 256K and wants help upgrading to 640K.
The specs say it can be upgraded by adding 256K DRAM chips to the multi
function board. Not being hardware oriented beyond great screwdriver
ability, it appears to me that you would pull 18 chips from the board
(which has 36) and plug in 18 256K DRAMS in place of the 18 64K chips.
Is this what is required? If this is done, will the software he has
been using run okay? Is anything else required? What precautions are
required to prevent damage from static?

Less than a novice in this area but got to learn sometime. Help is
much preferred to flames.

Jim
