Well, if you're not an EE student yourself, see if you can get your friend to do it for you; the upgrade needs an experienced solderer, and a calm temperament :) ... Les suggests taking a weekend over it, with several breaks. I bought the ram mail-order from Germany (where *everything* seems cheaper - check out Chip magazine if you can get it) but I think you can find almost as good prices in britain. The catch is the work is really tedious; and the main part is unsoldering all your current ram chips and inserting sockets instead. G PS Les's home-made arm3 upgrade is compatible with his ram upgrade :) -- (* Posted from tharr.uucp - Public Access Unix - +44 (234) 720202 *)
