The expansion RAM to me would therefore become a necessity. Toshiba has recently announced a promotional offer on the 768KB RAM expansion board for the T1000. From CompuServe's IBMHW (hardware) SIG: ---------- #: 90373 S6/Laptops (H) 16-Oct-87 10:50:10 Sb: #T1000 768K promo Fm: Keith Comer-Toshiba Tech 75266,1246 To: All I'm pleased to announce a sales promotion for the 768K RAM card for the T1000. Along with all T1000's sold up to Dec. 31, 1987, will be a coupon which will allow you to order the 768K RAM card directly from Toshiba for only $299. This offer WILL BE retroactive. Those of you that have already purchased a T1000 will be able to get a photocopy of the coupon from your dealer, or call 800-242-9009 or 800-423-4589 to get one. The cards are scheduled to arrive for shipments in early November. Notice that you CIS folks are on the cutting edge of announcement technology, and your dealers will be hearing about this by US Mail. Since the cards won't be shipping for a few weeks, don't panic if you can't get your hands on a coupon for a few days yet. **** Keith ---------- Disclaimer: I have no connection with Toshiba, financial or otherwise, except as a reasonably satisfied T1000 user. I have not yet directly verified this announcement.
