        Here at UNH I've been trying to experiment with these, but have
run into red tape snags getting adequate memory.  I've been running it on
one machine with 8 / 2 megs.  No Windows, but have hads no problems with
DOS.  Actually I've encountered lock-up problems on the Mac side.

        Has anyone tried Windows 95 on these?

        BTW, all the reports I've heard have *VASTLY* been in favour of
the Orange cards as opposed to Macs DOS cards.
