[net.micro.pc] TAll-tree Memory Board

A reference was recently made to the memory board made by Tall Tree
but the writer mistakenly stated it was made by Tall Grass. Tall Grass
sells disk and tape systems and not memory boards.

Anyway, I also have a Tall Tree J-RAM board and I too think it is great.
However, beware of the following minor problems:

1.) Some programs like the SI program in the Norton Utilities cause a
system with a JRAM board to hang. This is due to the way Norton attempts
to assertain how much memory exists in a system.

2.) In my Leading Edge PC the JRAM board causes the system to forget
to current date. This is interesting because the system remembers the
current time just fine.

I am convinced that these problems are caused by the JRAM because they
go away when the JRAM is removed.
