- As for the limit of 5 megs of fast ram, you don't have to worry about
- that if you use a Blizzard 1230-IV since it maps expansion memory to a
- different location..
-
- As for the PCMCIA driver, you must contact Eric Quackenbush at Scala
- (don't know the e-mail address at the moment). He's the only one so
- far that has released a PCMCIA modem driver. I don't know if there is
- a modem-make limitation.
-
- If at all possible, get a Surfin Squirrel PCMCIA expansion. It has
- both a SCSI2 and High Speed UART for super fast serial port speeds.
- This would be better since you could use the cheaper external modems
- and have a higher speed serial port.
