Is it still possible to enhanced an unenhanced //e? My dad has been thinking about upgrading his //e and I think it is a good idea. He bought it mainly because it was expandable, and thus worth the extra cost, but then he never did anything with it except add a mouse. I'm wondering how much this would cost if it can still be done, and if I have to go to a dealer or if I can get an expansion kit from Programs Plus or someplace like that for cheaper. A Also, if anyone has a used memory expansion add-on for the standard 80-col card, that might satisfy him a bit (what else comes in the expansion besides new character rom?).

It replaces the old 6502 and has a few more instructions on it, allowing more programs to be used with it. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | This is your brain... | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | | This is your brain on drugs... | pro-line: | | This is your brain on whole wheat.| mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |____________________________________|_______________________________|

Yes, you can still buy //e enhancement kits. They go for about $59 from Quality Computers.

Sorry to have to do this, but two things: First, whoever wrote me saying they had a spare extended 80-col-card or just the extra 64k to be added on to my 80-col card, please write me back. I lost your mail. Second, programs plus has the enhancement kit for $58 which includes the roms & 65c02. I'm surprised the price for this has gone up - my latest issue of nibble (1987) has it for $45.
