I ordered this same (I think) book from the 800-222-PART number, but it
had a different COM code. Do the documentation order takers use different
numbers than the parts order takers? The guy on the hot-line gave me a 
number that started 845-something. I had a part number from the December, 
1985 issue of BYTE magazine, but that one has apparently been superseded 
by a newer release. I got the same description and price listed above.

On a related note, I also ordered the 1.43 ROM BIOS upgrade. I attempted
to order the BIOS listing at the same time, but the order taker said that
she didn't have that COM code listed (405-something) and suggested I call 
the documentation number. Is this for the 1.21 BIOS or the 1.43 BIOS? If 
it is the older release, does the upgrade come with a new listing (or at 
least a list of changes)?

One more thing - does anybody know where the extended (expanded?) memory
board can be had for less than $695? I want to use the 16-bit data bus if
possible, but my wallet balked at the price :-(. Any suggestions?
