Tom,
I don't know which serial numbers have sockets. We have never seen an 800XL
that didn't have the RAM socketed, and that is the most important thing
for the 256K upgrade. Did the 800XL you returned not have the RAM socketed?

We have been shipping the 256KXL for a couple of weeks now and no problems
have been noted. It makes the 800XL look exactly like a 130XE except that
bits 5 and 6 of $D301 have been redefined to address twice as much memory.
I have also souped up a version of OMNIVIEW XL to treat this extra memory
as a double sided single density ramdisk.
