- Very interesting. I bought my 3/40 in April 1991, exactly the period of time
- you are talking about. I wonder why it is that the bookstore here sold only
- 3/40 and 5/80 models while you could only get a 2/40 or 5/80. One or both of
- our dealers were messing with the RAM configurations.
-
- The point remains, however, that the IIsi can use 512kB SIMMs for 3 MB total
- RAM.
