- I've been trying to find someplace to purchase expansion memory
- for this model, which my sister purchased with only 2mb of memory,
- too little for comfortable use with Windows. The motherboard has
- two 72-pin SIMM sockets, and the manual refers to it requiring 70ns
- memory in either 2 or 4mb increments.
-
- I would warn potential purchasers that such memory is virtually
- impossible to find at the dealers (Lechmere, Sears, etc.) who sell
- the product. Some other PS/1 models use generic 1mb SIMMs, but
- not this low-end model. Calling IBM's 800 numbers for assistance
- has been an exercise in being bounced around from one group to another
- without getting any information--surely my sister isn't the only
- person to desire a memory upgrade! Perhaps she's the only person
- to have purchased one of these things?
-
- If someone could point me to a source for this memory (preferably
- someone who has installed them in a PS/1), I'd much appreciate it!
