Posting this for a friend: --------------------------- I have an Atari 1040, no memory expansion and think of buying the Spectre board for running Mac software. I have some questions: Where can I buy it cheapest by mail order (and with credit card)? Is 1 M memory enough or do I have to expand it? Where do I get cheap memory upgrades? What system software can it run? Any incompatibility problems with programs that can run on a SE? Appreciate any comments Sincerely, Chris Loneberg --------------------------- Reply by e-mail to: Kent Boortz boortz@sics.se

I can't answer for US sources, but I have Spectre GCR running on a 1 Meg 520 and the 832 Kb that it leaves me is enough for most software, including Hypercard. I've used several System/Finder combinations, currently 6.0.4, with no problems (but with only 832K I don't run MultiFinder). -- William Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division, Bedford Inst. of Oceanography P.
