Okay, I've been reading postings on this group for the last couple months
about how you've all been upgrading your old 7300 PC's to 2 Megs memory,
so how about the old 512K boards you took out?  Anyone out there have one
that they're using for a paperweight or a doorstop?  It occurs to me that
I could plug one of these into the unused socket in my 512K 7300 and have
a full meg, which could actually make this into a usable computer.  Since
the best price I can find on ANY memory upgrade for the 7300 is nearly the
cost of a complete new machine, I would feel pretty silly buying one for
a machine that isn't mine (It belongs to the University where I work - 
they got it on grant from ATT.  I think ATT just wanted to dump them)
I sure am getting tired of listening to this thing swap for five minutes
just to list a directory.  Those old 64K DRAMS aren't worth anything
anyway, and I sure could use them.  Send Email responses to :
