That's kind of an odd amount. :) I'll assume : you typo'd in a 0 and what you actually meant was 8MB, in which case [snip] Jordan, you forgot the key word in Hal's post... Compaq. :-) As anyone who's ever put their head in a Compaq engine bay in the (usually) futile attempt to debug a hardware problem will agree, there is compatible and then there's Compaq-compatible. <smirk> I've seen Compaq systems with odd amounts of RAM : 40M, 72M, 80M. Why those amounts? Usually because some purchasing manager thought it would be cool to have something "different". Blech! --Jason j.b.george@ieee.org jbg@specialty.ab.ca
