- Thanks for all of the suggestions everybody. Here's a summary:
- Votes Recommendation
- 6 TOS 1.4
- 4 Warp 9
- 2 More memory
- 1 Anything and everything from Fair Dinkum Technologies (Hi John! :)
- 1 8 or 9 other things that I don't remember off hand
-
- Well, I'm more interested in TOS 2.06 so I'll just wait until I have more
- money. Warp 9 I might get though because I've seen TurboST on my machine
- (yes it is gone now, thank you very much) and the speed increases were very
- noticable.
-
- However, I would definitely prefer more memory! Anybody know what the best
- route to upgrade is (e.g. SIMMs or more of the kind that came in my Mega)?
- Cheapest? Keep in mind that I will NOT be doing the upgrade myself.
