Paul, The Rambank is a memory card for expanded memory and filling conentional memory, i.e., it can be used for filling 512K out to 640K with the rest going for expanded memory. It is made by Diamond Flower Electric Instrument Co. The Rambank is sold as MEMO-2000X by Alex Electronics, Inc., Mail Order Dept. 11342 IH-35 North, San Antonio, Texas 78233. Their order number is (800)531-5369. The price is $79 without memory. (You can GO DA to Delco Electronics for some good chip prices or call 1-800-445-5342 for a price quote.) It is described as 256K to 2 Meg LIM/EMS compatible. Uses 4164 or 41256 DRAM chips (probably 150 ns, I bought 120 ns and 100 ns chips). Can backfill conventional memory from 256K to 640K. Includes EMS drivers, RAM disk and print spooler. BTW, this is not the only choice, of course, for adding memory. I use it for a ramdisk. Since my AST SixPakPlus fills up my conventional memory, the 2 meg is currently allocated as expanded memory. Of course, I could remove the AST card for another card and use some of the 2 meg to backfill conventional memory and use what's left for expanded.
