- Hi Mike,
-
- I noticed that you wrote about Re: RAM in A4000/30, and I just had to reply thus:
-
- [A4000 RAM]

- Didn't say otherwise did I? ;)

- I presume you tried this on good authority from someone. I'd hate to think that
- it was done as a 'let's try it and see' exercise. :)

- > MORE accurate than the manual ;)
-
- In retrospect, that ain't difficult. :))

-
- Been there, seen it, done it! I often listen to CD's whilst reading mail and
- news. Volume level is a bit crap though - but then again, so are the speakers in
- my CBM1942..

-
- My, what an exciting and adventurous life you lead! ;)
