I just got a Paradise + 16, and its board does have a place where I believe the other 256K go. Mind you, no sockets, just a row of IC pads right behind the 256K on board. Now, I am handy with a soldering iron, and I might (on those days when I am endowed with more than my share of stupidity) try soldering some RAM chips in. However, there is one more empty pad that is too small for a chip; and the corresponding pad for the installed 256K seems to have some sort of a resistor pack on it. Does anyone know for sure? If someone has access to exactly what chips/components are missing from the + 16 compared to the professional, I would really like to know. Thanks, Milan mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu .

I haven't seen that particular board, but if it has dip sockets set up in a scattered fashion, its probably set up to take 2 different kinds of chips. -- conan@vax1.acs.udel.edu OR conan@192.5.57.1 ******************************************* ****I only play DISC GOLF and drink tea**** *******************************************
