Egads ! Imagine my surprise when I found that 256k chips were
12.00$ and up each (150 ns)!

This is not the place for it, but that semiconductor agreement was a
lot of garbage.  Now the Japanese, who still own 90% of the DRAM
market anyway, are making many $$$$$.

You know it's bad when 256K static ram prices are about the same as
the DRAM prices.

Well this kind of puts a damper on my memory expansion plans, but
thank you very much to all those who responded . And especially thanks
for the explanation as to why you can only add certain memory
increments at a time.  It seems that the Datafree memory board is the
favorite.  Now when RAM prices get back to being reasonable I can buy
one.

By the way does anybody have one of them there polydisks and how
do you like it ?
