This interference is terrible! Hope this thing is legible! Does anyone know if it makes a difference in how much factory RAM I have in my M100 when I want to install non-Radio Shack RAM chips? I don't know if it makes a difference…..will I get more AM if I have a 24K versus an 8K memory? I hear you can get up to 96K RAM usable memory in the M100 with non-Radio Shack chips…..if this just wishful thinking? Please advise so I can make a decision. Also…..is the Radio Shack 'blue carrying bag' any good…..value-wise, or is it overpriced junk?

Jim: There are two separate steps involved. First the basic Model 100 needs to be upgraded to 32K which is the MAXIMUM possible. That is done by installing 8K chips which may be bought for $25 to $125 each depending on how bought. Second, you may install 32K or 64K expansion units which get tucked into the slot on your Model 100's fanny. With them you get some sort of bank switching system to bounce from bank to bank. At NO time will you be able to access more than 29K at one time. SIGing the 100 way … .^Dave^. Enter command, N for next message or <ENTER> for menu:n
