NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PYRAMID TECHNOLOGY COMPUTERS January 26, 1988 The first 8MB and 32MB memory boards ever produced for Pyramid computers are among four new add-in memories introduced by Dataram Corporation. The DR-900 boards, also available in 4MB and 16MB capacities are priced at least 30% less than comparable Pyramid products. The memory is fully compatible with all Pyramid processors, including the RTP Series, and comes with a Lifetime Warranty. Using state-of-the-art ZIP packaged RAMs, Dataram's DR-900 boards feature improved slot efficiency, greater reliability and reduced power consumption. Dataram provides an on-board Enable/Disable switch for troubleshooting purposes. This switch allows for the electrical disabling of memory without having to actually remove the board. Taking memory off-line when servicing the system eliminates any possible confusion over the source of a problem. Along with the lifetime warranty, Dataram offers an express spares program, service call reimbursement, and a risk free trial period. For more information, contact Dataram at 800-822-0071, or 609-799-0071. Dataram Corporation, P.O. Box 7528, Princeton, NJ, 08543-7528.

Totally cool.... there are enough Pyramids out there now to support PCMs.... Does this mean we're a real computer company now? Or are we still just "DEC's major nuisance competitor?" (Datapro said that, not me.) Now, if I can only convince my department to buy eight 32Meg boards for the development system, I'll *finally* have enough memory. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) [Not the opinions of my employer, obviously.] <csg>

Hmmm, I wonder how fast I could compile, say, MH or GNU Emacs or KCL or MIT C Scheme or all the X clients or the latest kernel or... if my development filesystem was an in-memory partition? Putting the first 5 Mb of /tmp there is nice, but how about the entire source to whatever I'm working on?
