I thinking about adding some extra memory to my ROM 01 GS that came with the Apple IIGS 1 meg memory card which uses the 256Kx1 chips. I've been looking at the CV Tech GS Memory Board which suposedly has a "piggyback connector" that lets you use your old memory card for extra memory, while remaining DMA compatable. As very few cards use the 256Kx1 chips anymore, this maybe the best way to get so use out of my old card. I;'m also looking at the Harris Labs GS Sauce board that uses the MacIntosh SIMMS. Programs Plus offers this with 2megs for $169 so it seems to be a good deal for the price. Any info, recomendations, or warnings would be appreciated. Thanks, Chad Dawson cd1f@andrew.cmu.edu

GS Sauce: Thumbs Up. Had one w/ two megs since summer (bought blank, and the SIMMs myself) and it's worked perfectly with both the DMA SCSI and the RAMfast. The only gotcha about the GS Sauce (unless they've fixed it) is that the instruction sheet is not very clear as to which dot means 'open' in the DIP switch diagram. I wrote it on mine, and can look it up for you if you get one with the same instruction sheet. Haven't seen the CVT memory board. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu
