Extended memory:
Are there any other manufacturers of an extended memory
board for the plus? The $695 price tag from AT&T for
1/2 meg is a bit steep. Any recommendations?
Math Coprocessor:
I would like to get a math coprocessor for my plus to aid
in running some cad software. Any recommendations and
prices along this line?

To install it, you take the bottom cover off the plus, find the socket (near the 80286-the only empty socket on the board that will take the 80287), and set dsw-2, sw 5 to the on position. If you don't have a motherboard layout to help you find the positions, send me e-mail and I will try to give you a rough sketch. I am using the 80287 in my PLUS and it makes a noticable difference in floating point operations. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Maxwell AT&T DP&CT | All standard (and most non_standard) Maitland, FL ihnp4!ablnc!maxwell | disclaimers apply. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
