>I gather from Bob that the 1Mb packs are no more. Did not ask >what replaces it... SIMM packs maybe?
Nope - nothing is going to replace it. I talked to Bob a while ago on the phone about this. He said that with the hard drive coming out, people arne't going to want or need more than 512k of memory (Bill Gates - you've got a competitor, but this guy goes lower than 640k!!!).. which is a shame, because I've got lots of ideas for software which will be greatly enhanced by having external memory. Having said that, if we can convince Bruce to blow the GALs necessary for us, we now know enough to put the RYAN into practice, using cheap SIMMs... we've even got a 1Mb simms module to test the design with. I think Bob really is just waiting for the SAM to die. He's never really progressed from the Spectrum... wanting to replace DIR with CAT proves that much...
