I, actually my father, has a Franklin Ace 1000 computer which he got early in the 80's. The Franklin is almost entirely Apple 2 compatible. I guess that's why they got sued by Apple and I think are out of business. Anyways, the computer has only 64k memory, and he would like to have more!! primarily through a memory card if possible. I've tried to look for a place that has Franklin or Apple2 expanable memory cards, but could not find any. If anyone out there can help me with this, please do and mail me. Joe Sosa jsosa@encore.com

Well, what you're looking for is somewhat of a rarity nowadays. The Franklin hasn't been made for the last (checking watch) seven or so years, and its architecture was basically that of the Apple ][+. So, in order to add memory, I think your best bet would be to check some used computer hardware dealers. Applied Engineering had a card (I think they still make it) called RamWorks which, if I remember correctly, is a slot 1-7 memory board. Give them a call and see if they still make it. Their phone number is 214/241-6060. Good luck! -- Dj Padzensky _______________________________________________________________________________ Internet: djpadz@bonnie.ics.uci.edu | Neurotics build castles in the sky.

There are planty of RAM cards available for the ][+ (RAM Factor by AE, and a bunch of other Clone Satern RAM cards). The only problem is that not many software will recognize and use the extra RAM. The most you can hope for is to use the extra RAM as a RAM disk. >I've tried to look for a place that has Franklin or Apple2 expanable >memory cards, but could not find any. There are many mail order house that sells Clone Satern RAM cards (dubbed as "128k RAM card") as well as AE's RAM Factors. >If anyone out there can help me with this, please do and mail me. > >Joe Sosa jsosa@encore.com From: chiu@cory.Berkeley.EDU (James C.Y.

Their phone number is >214/241-6060. Yes, the RamWorks III is still in production, but it won't work in a Franklin. It only fits the auxiliary slot of a IIe. Applied Engineering does make another card, though. It's called RamFactor and will fit in any slot. The card itself can hold up to 1 meg; a 4-meg piggyback and a battery-backup system are also available for the RamFactor.
