I bought a wyse 386/16MHz machine about a year ago.  It came with
1 MB of memory and room on the system board for another MB.  Here's
my problem: I want to expand my memory up to 4MB.  I called wyse
and asked how much it would cost for a 2MB expansion board - boy
was I surprised - $1200.  That's quite a bit beyodn me.  I have
heard rumor that wyse manufactured empty boards about a year ago
because memory was so expensive - but they have since discontinued
this practice.

Does anyone know where I could find a cheaper wyse comnpatible board?
    (which the 32-bit top-plane adapter?)
Does anybody know where I might find an empty board?
Does anybody know where I might find a wyse usergroup that might
    have answers to my questions?
Wyse charges $60/hr just to talk with a technician, can anybody
    out there tell me how to rig up my own top-plane adapter?
Does anybody know who else might manufacture a 32-bit board
    compatible for the wyse?

Yes!  I am desperate!  Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
