DICKSON@HARTFORD.BITNET once grumbled about taking the //E to GS upgrade. I think he said that his AE Ramcard (assuming it is gsRAM for the Apple //GS) wouldn't fit in the //e case. Then Michael WIlliams@Boulder.Colorado.EDU suggested that a slot-extender might be used. I know that with some high-speed devices like co-processors and disk controller cardss can not be extended because it throws off the timing required to make them work. Those extra inches of wire add too much of a time lag. I can not remember if memory cards were one of those, but I suspect it is. Especially for a GS ram expansion card. If I got any names screwed up, I'm sorry. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Seah --- Worcester Polytechnic Institute | +-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | Bitnet: DSeah@WPI.Bitnet | We can't receive files! | | Internet: DSeah%WPI.Bitnet@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | EMAIL only!

If the //e in question has the "older" type case (there's probably a year or serial number which is the dividing line, but I know neither), then it is TOO SMALL FOR THE GS MOTHERBOARD ITSELF...That was my problem...They tried to charge me about $90 for the case (the new //e case), but then we called Apple, and it was really free...So they just pu`t it in a NEW //e-style case for free and moved whatever needed to be from my old //e...(Like power supply, etc..) I doubt that that is his problem though, because the motherboard itself shouldn't've fit...He must be referring to a different AE ramcard. -tuu
