[comp.sys.apple] 2 Megs?

q4kx@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (Joel Sumner) (02/13/90)

I also have questions about RAM cards.  I currently have a 1.25 Meg ROM 01
Apple IIgs.  This is no longer sufficient to compile a program that I am
working on.  I would like to upgrade my machine to 2 megs with a possibility
of going higher (4 megs?).
  I obviously cannot add any memory to my Apple Expanded Memory Card so
I am just going to yank it out and buy something else. (Anyone want to buy
it?)  I have found a place where I can get 1 Meg 80ns RAM SIMMS for 67$.
Therefore, a memory card that supports SIMMS would be preferred. The only
one that I know that does this is the OctoRAM card by MDIdeas.  I cannot
find their phone number anywhere.  I also have not seen anyone that sells
0K OctoRAM cards. (I found one that sold a OctoRAM's with 1 meg worth of 256K
chips but that is a waste)  Does anyone have any information on this card
and/or MDIdeas?  I know that the card is not DMA compatible but I don't think
I care.  (Should I care?  Please let me know).  
  Also, please tell me any other alternatives to my memory dillemma.  It
appears that I can get a 0K OctoRAM somewhere for $100 + 2 Megs for $140 +
some shipping and all brings that total to around $260.  Can anyone beat
that kind of price on something different?  Thanks for the info.....
