        It did require a different power supply.  But then, what did you
expect?  If the bare board price of this product is within reason it seems
like a good idea to me.  Start with an extra MEG or two and build from there
up to a total of 9.4MB of fast RAM.  After all, 8 megs of ram probably costs
almost $2000 right now, no?


                                                        Wade.
