The RAM expanders (1764 and 1750 at least) are still being carried- but you
have to hunt for them.  A shipment went out around Christmas time to dealers &
distributors; I imagine they did not last long on the shelves.  Apparently
the problem is 256K DRAMs, used in quite a few small systems and peripherals.

>On a similar note.  I finally got my December Transactor.

Didn't get one :-(  (received some Amiga Transactors though...).
