[net.wanted] Memory upgrades for DEC Rainbow

rde@ukc.UUCP (R.D.Eager) (12/16/85)

We  have  unfortunately  purchased  about  20-25 DEC Rainbows for use in
teaching.  The decision was made by a committee....

These are fitted with the "old" 256K memory board that can't be expanded
further; needless to say we now need more memory and are trying to  find
cheap ways of doing this.

My questions are:

   a) has anybody modified the "old" memory board for 256K chips?
   b) has anybody a design or even a schematic for a board using 256K
      chips and giving at least 512K total?
   c) does anyone know of non-DEC suppliers (DEC prices are complete
      ripoffs) for such boards?

If  we  can't  get this done cheaply we may as well just buy replacement
machines....-)
