Washington University (St. Louis) is offering two configurations of the IIsi: 3/40 for $2450
5/80 for $2975
What size memory is used in these configurations? Would it be cheaper to buy the 3/40 and add 2 megs of RAM and another hard disk?
Thanks!luigi@aix01.aix.rpi.edu (John L Luigi Giasi) (04/20/91)

So you must remove the 2 meg bank of 512k SIMMs and replace them with 4-1Meg SIMMs. Then you can either give (or sell) the 2 meg bank to someone else, or you could use them as decorations. I find the apple 80meg hard drives to be noticbly faster than the standard 40meg and if you are going to upgrade anyway.... Luigi Giasi Luigi@rpi.edu
