Again, I have to ask a question previously asked by another:  who is "we"?
I have never heard of CDY Consulting -- although from your name and the 
initials I presume it is you company?   Are your products available at
computer stores or mail order or?  (By the way, I actually posted this 
message, not Dennis, this is part of our reposting screwup here at Tektronix
Clark County site.)  I am sure others would be interested in learning where
these "products" are available.  I realize that you cannot advertise over
the net, but can you at least answer specific questions like this?

Also, is this upgrade compatible with the 130XE?  There was a previous posting
by someone to the effect that some changes had to be made to I believe DOS 2.5
to get it to recognize the additional memory and to allow for both D8: and D7:
RAM disks.

Thanks in advance,
--Bill-- (not Dennis)
