I have two questions. I'm trying to upgrade an Epson Equity IIe 286
computer from one megabyte to three megabytes on board. The documentation
that comes with the computer states that the memory can be upgraded to 2, 3,
or 5 megs of memory. Has anyone done this? What type of memory is best to
use?
Also, I want to add a 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy drive to an 8088 computer with
a WD 1002 HD/FD controller that's running MS-Dos v3.20. I think I need to
upgrade to Dos 3.30, but will I also need to upgrade the HD/FD controller?
Thanks,

Two Questions (unrelated):
1) What are the advantages/disadvantages of getting the EISA versus the ISA
bus system?
Does the EISA system require EISA specfic boards such that all periperal
devices
(i.e. VGA card, HD interface card, etc) are more expensive?
2) Has anyone seen the (new?) Samsung Syncmaster 4? It's a 17"
non-interalaced monitor
with 1024x768 resolution for under $900.00. It has a flat (low-glare
screen) with a
0.31 dot pitch. I know nothing else and the above (except price) is from
there ad in
Infoworld. Any reviews etc?
Thanks in advance.
