Hello, I was just given a Tandy 1000 which has 256K of memory. I was wanting to add more memory to it and when I opened the machine up there is a board in slot 1 that appears to be a memory board that is only half-populated. There does not seem to be any memory on the mother board unless its under the drives and/or power supply(i didnt look that close). My questions are what are the "standard" memory configurations when you purchase a 1000? What is the maximum amount of memory you can place on the boards that come with the computer? What is the absolute max. memory the machine can support? What memory chips does the machine require and what is a good place to purchase these chips? ( i assume the answer to the last question is not radio shack but i could be wrong). Any comments and/or suggestions on a memory upgrade would be appreciated. thank you wayne beech -- ============================================================================= UUCP : ukma!beech BITNET: beech@ukma DOMAIN: beech@ms.uky.edu
