Cheers, just taking a peek now, it looks like you've put an extra dot in
though.  I think it's either a PC card or if I can strtch to it a G3
card.  I'm looking at the site and I can't see anything other than a
P166 card at $549, do you ahve an exact URL?

I get most stuff from Dabs and their site isn't working as I type this
but for a 5v 32mb EDO DIMM it was about 50 quid a couple of weeks ago.

I have a Umax clone anyway, my SCSI chain is already full and if get the
PC card it will be the first thing I've actually bought with an Apple
badge on it I think (apart from my Newton 130, offers welcome!).
Thanks for the advice, have you used one of the PC cards, I've read a
few reviews and they suggest possible problems witht he monitor leads
for clone owners, I have a Umax with a normal Mac port but I use a
Matrox Millenium card which has a VGA port and a monitor with a VGA
cable, am I in trouble?
