A perhaps dumb question, but being new to the apple world I seem to think that a Apple //e with an 80 col. card in the aux slot makes it 128K, however, why can't I run proterm? Do I really have 128K or is there something I must do to activate this RAM? Thanks Please email reply to mdgoodma@crdec8.apgea.army.mil thanks, mack

Apple sold 2 80 column cards for the //e. There was the regular 80 column card, with no additional memory, and the extenden 80 column card, with an extra 64K. The extended card had a bank of 8 chips on the top of the card, if I remember correctly. And as I recall, if you can run Prodos (64K needed, all //e's have this), then you should be able to run Proterm, but you will get something ilke a 5K scrollback and a 5K editor. If you need more memory, an AE card will be a better bet, they go up to 1.5MEG's. Rich -Rich-@cup.portal.com

Is the //e enhanced? Proterm won't run on an unenhanced //e -- but it should tell you that when you try to run it. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu

A couple of things to point out. They are obvious to most of us but to the
new member of the Apple world, this may get past you.
1) The 80-Col card that gives you the 128K is called an Extened 80-Column
card. It has an additional 64K on it.
2) To allow the system to use this memory, there is a small jumper on the
board that must be set. This jumper may only be used for graphics or some
such thing but I can't remember now.
Good luck with it.

In-Reply-To: message from Mack.Goodman@samba.acs.unc.edu Whether or not you have a 64k bank of memory on your 80 column card determines whether you have 128k total memory. I, personally, use an AE Ramworks III, which includes full 80 column capability and a possible 1 meg on board. ---- ProLine: joeq@pro-odyssey Internet: joeq@pro-odyssey.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-odyssey!joeq ARPA: crash!pro-odyssey!joeq@nosc.mil

There is however, a newer extended 80-column card (very small, with only 4 chips) with no jumper (the connection is already made).
