[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Questions about Panasonic KX-P1124 printer

trr@rayssd.ray.com (Terry R. Raymond) (12/17/88)

I recently bought a KX-P1124 printer and I am considering
buying the 32K buffer chip.  I called Panasonic to find out
what the price is and was told it is $60.00.  I consider this
to be rather expensive for a RAM chip that probably can be bought
for less than $25.00.  Does anyone know what this chip really is,
i.e. what is the industry part no.?  Thank you.

Terry,
	You might open up the 1124 and see what chip they use for the
present buffer (assuming there is one!), and also see how many sockets
there are nearby for the addition RAM chip(s).
	How do you like the printer?
	
Pete
