You bet I can help you Chris, here goes: You can intermix rams of different speeds as much as you wish. No concern need be given as to organizing them in any particular way although some patterns of chips are more esthetically pleasing than others 🙂 Here's some part numbers: Hitachi HM511000-xx Hitachi HM511000P-xx NEC D421000C-xx (we like these the best) Toshiba TC511000P-xx OKI M511000-xx Fujitsu MB1C1000-xx The xx in each of the above part numbers is the speed designation. For example -12 is 120 nanosecond rams. Try these people for ram chips: Monarchy International – 415 873 3055 – ask for sam. All Components 800 334 4637 Columbus International 714 969 2421 If you need additional assistance let me know. Perry

Perry, Thanks I needed that! Also, I spoke to one of your people and he helped me out quite a bit. The manual for the 8MI is a bit over my head and I had hoped for a diagram of the board itself showing each 2meg of ram. He helped me figure out the placement of the first 2 meg and the jumper settings. Thanks again, Chris

Chris, Customer Service…is Customer Service. Please don't hesitate to contact us concerning any questions you might have in the future. We're here to support our products in whatever way we can. By The Way, I have a new manual addendum for the 8MI, if the Sysops won't mind (will they?) I'll upload it here. (Will wait for permission by Sysops). Perry

Perry, I am in the process of deciding on an upgrade. I don't know yet whether I am going to get an A2000 or upgrade my old A1000. If I upgrade, I am considering your products. I've heard good things about ASDG but it was some time ago. I wonder if you would tell me where I can get some info on your memory expansion and hard disks. I kind of remember that you have something that accomodates both, is that true ? Thanks Sam Hashimoto

Although I can't speak for Perry, I can speak for his hardware! Go for it! It is great stuff! We currently use ASDG's 8MI memory board our A2000 workstations! Have had NO problems with them. What you may be referring to is ASDG's "2000-in-1" box. Brendan Larson, Dir. Operations WeatherConnect, Inc.

Brendan, Tell me more, doesn't Perry advertise ? I've heard only good things about ASDG equipment but no specifications. I am giving the A2000 more consideration now since I use a PC as a 3270 terminal at work. Sam H

Perry, Upload your manual addendum…just make sure your description shows that is strictly an addendum and not the whole manual and is only for those who have the original. Put it in DL 2. Don
