One connected to a Microvax and the other to an AT clone. I just upgraded the RAM from 512K to 4.5 megabytes on each unit. All is well and we are happy. Ed DeHart

All is well and we are happy. > Ed DeHart We would like to upgrade the memory on ours, but the best price we found is a bit steep (teens of hundreds). How much did your upgrade cost? Is it a complete kit (i.e., can a typical knuckle-dragger do it)? Where did you buy it? I know - I ask too many questions, but thanks in advance for whatever you can answer. =================================================================== Pat Sullivan - {gatech|akgua|ihnp4}!sortac!pls - voice 404-257-7382

Mine also has 4.5Mb, but that is a side effect of having acquired it for qualification testing on the computers we make here. I am having trouble imagining how anyone could use more than 2.5Mb (on the uVAX, anyway). The maximum downloaded font count is 32, and the typical font is about 16Kbytes. A full legal-size page of 300dpi graphics is less than 1.5Mbytes. So unless you are also downloading herds of macros (like the entire set of FY87 IRS tax forms), only 2Mbytes has been accounted for. On the PC, I suppose the extra RAM makes a great printer spooler. Regards, Hewlett-Packard Bob Niland 3404 East Harmony Road [ihnp4|hplabs]!hpfcla!rjn Fort Collins CO 80525

(412) 422-3733 The RAM upgrade was around $1200.00 for the four meg board. Since we were planning to print a lot of graphics we went for the full RAM upgrade. It was very easy to install. Anyone should be able to do the upgrade in a few minutes.
