As you already got some advice, I would like to add that you could
try to install a EMS Memory Expansion Board into your IBM 286 - if
you're able to find it. I was lucky not long ago with such a search
in some usenet newsgroups where computer hardware is traded - payed
only about 3 $ for it and now I have 12 MB RAM in my 386.
Did you already take a look to this computer's mainboard? If there
are many (more than 10) *empty* equal chip sockets, then you can try
to find the fitting single DRAM's which would expand your RAM, too.
Or you can change the existing DRAM's with chips with a higher
capacity - like from 256k to 1M in each memory bank.
The thing is when you got more than 1 MB RAM, Arachne can use it for
different purposes: you could install SMARTDRV.EXE (no excessive hard
disk usage anymore) or even install a ramdisk, so that Arachne can
write her temporary files to it, which would speed up several tasks
during an Arachne session.
... und wech... am Sonntag, den 23.01.00 um 11:32...
