- I have a Tandy 1000TL, (296 processor) and there _is_ a board that Tandy
- will sell me so I can expand the memory way beyond the 640k (1meg)
- limit. Problem is, they won't support it, and it will void my warrantee!
- (That's long gone, anyway!)
-
- When I priced it about six months ago, I think the board sold for about
- $180, plus the price of the RAM chips. When I added it all up, I would
- have spent $700, or something like that, so I decided to wait and get a
- newer, bigger, better computer (non-Tandy) in a year or so.
