I finally have my 512K 7300 upgraded to 2.5 meg. I wanted to share the information on the upgrade for others that might be interested. The board I installed is a 2 megabyte board by Piiceon, Inc. of San Jose, CA. I got the board from Digital Data Systems, Inc. 775 Franklin Road, Suite 100 Marietta, Georgia 30067 (800) 346-8243 The board cost $495 which at current memory prices was less than I could upgrade the motherboard for. I was told the board was burned in and warranteed for a year. The board looks good - no obvious white wires. All 256K-150ns DRAMS are soldered in. The instruction pages that came with it were reasonably well written though the most important part - the table of expansion slot configurations - was missing. This wasn't a problem for me with no other expansion boards since it worked fine in the first slot I tried (3). Digital Data Systems delayed shipping my order twice, but both times they were very professional and sent a letter offering to cancel the order. The board has only been installed for a day, but passed all memory tests and seems to be working well. Steve Spearman druco!spear ihnp4!booboo!spear
