- Hiya Patrick, i would give PMCIA ram cards a BIG miss, for starters they
- are only 16 bit ram, which will not speend the 1200 up any graet deal,an
- for wot you spend on the pmcia ram card, you could buy an internal ram
- card for the expansion port with a bit of 32 bit ram for the card, whch
- will run as twice a fast a the pmcia ram..
-
- In Australia here you can pick up an internal ram card with couple meg of ram
- for the price of a 2 meg pmcia ram card.
-
- All spend a little more an get a 030, has they have really come down in price
- especially the 030/28 mhz cards.
-
- Paul.
