I have an old IBM PC (not XT or anything) that I want to add memory to.
It now has 256k (with two floppies) and I want it to have at least
384k.  I've been getting conflicting stories from IBM dealers about
the cheapest way to do this.  Some don't even remember the machine,
and one asked me whether it was a PC 1 or a PC 2.  How am I supposed
to find this out?  The plate on the back says "model 5150".  I'd appreciate
any advice that anyone can offer.  (email is probably best)
 Thanks!  -Lee (spector@brillig.umd.edu)
