	The 1mb drams can be purchased for 32.00 and the support chips
are not as expensive as you might have guessed, Iam still expecting to
receive this board in the near future,,as soon as the company receives
the parts list.
	I will summarize to the net when I get it all finished or
sooner if it is a catastrophe!
