I am considering adding a >= 256K RAM S-100 board to a Heath H-100.  Info on
experiences with such boards, pros and cons, factors to consider etc. would
be appreciated.  (I would like to hear from people who have added RAM board(s)
to H/Z-100s about compatibility of various manufacturers' offerings).

If there are enough replies, I will summarize and post them.

			Thanks in advance,

I suggest that you might look into the Macrotech line of ram boards
made specifically for the Z-100. I cannot personally comment on these
specific boards, but the Macrotech crew is an excellent bunch and
their hardware engineer seems to be a real wizard.

Get the Hudson 8087 + RAM board.  You'll be happy you did.
