[comp.sys.apple] GS Ram and ram chip speed and other stuff

sk2f+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU ("Seth D. Kadesh") (02/18/89)

I bought the GS ram when it was pretty new - what revisions has the board gone
through (i.e. DMA access - what is it, and is it important ?).  Is there some
kind of upgrade policy?  (Doesn't AE do something like that?)
What's the deal with 120ns chips?  I seem to remember someone posting that new
ram cards are now using 120ns chips?  What's the deal here - is it time to sell
my GS ram?!

And what's with all these rumors,
Bob Sherman?  (he wrote 'em)

SOMEBODY PLEASE CONFIRM OR DENY (or just elaborate :-)!

How come the only key that works on this stupid machine is the delete key?!
