	I can't say too much about memory boards, but you should know
that if you buy a A2091-40, the 2091 controller comes with sockets for
2MB of RAM.

	I have FutureSound, and although it works quite well, I don't
recommend it. The company does not answer its phone and I've never
heard anything from them. You should make sure they exist before you
buy.

	There is this scanner advertised in a few of the recent
magazines called the Migraph(?) which looked pretty good AND cheap.
(about $350)
