I have finally come into some money, $80-90. I would like to get the 512K upgrade before I get OS9 LII. Am I right when I assume that I can use LII & 512K without any other software, or must I get a driver or something with the upgrade? I don't need an RS-DOS Ramdisk, just a memory upgrade that won't go on the blink. The lowest price I've seen advertised in Rainbow is $80, by Microtech Consultants. Can anyone vouch for the performance of this product? (BTW, I'm installing it myself--plugging in a board is no big deal for even Jon Ten-Left-Thumbs Howell :-) The next price was $88.88, but I can't remember the company. (I don't want to pay $79.95, then PLUS $19.99 for a Ramdisk program.) Any advice and/or reviews will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jon -- _ ___ ___ __ __ _ _ _ \Jon / \ | \ | / \ / \ |\ | '' \ / |_ ' |_) |_ \ Howell / \ |____) |__ / / \ | \ | \/\/ |_ | \ |_ \ ( ) | \ | ( ___ ( ) | \ | --- _ _ ___ ___ _ _ \ \ / | \ | \ / \ / | \ | |_) |_ | | |_ |_) |'' \ \_/ | \ |___ \__/ \__/ | \| |_) |_ | | |_ | \ o \

When i upgraded to 512K, i got the bare board from disto. No software,
which was fine with me. I posted my experience with it a month or so
back - to summarize: DONT PLUG IT IN TOO FAR! The sockets on the
coco don't have bottoms, and you can short pins to circuit board traces.
The thing cost me (i think) $40. I ordered it from a company in the
US - otherwise customs holds up delivery a week or two. Of course, 256K
ram chip prices have gone up a lot lately - thanks congresscritters.
I havent had any problems with the board.
