- I believe that this is possible - it should turn your DSP into a DSP90 - at
- least that's what I've heard. The only possible problem may be that you
- have to set some jumpers or change a prom. I can't imagine that anything
- would blow up if you tried it.

- The connector on the front of the 330 CPU is for the addon RAM board - which
- was also available for the DSP80A and (I presume) the DSP90.
