You must use 9-bit SIMMs and you must get the 1mb variety. You also must upgrade 2mb at a time due to the 9-bit requirement. 1mb 9-bit SIMMs are selling at around $100.00 each nowadays (give or take $20). There are SIMM slots on the motherboard, so just plug in the SIMM cards and change the setup within the monitor program (CTRL-ALT-INS). The memory must be configured as expanded I believe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
