Thank you Bob Burch for the informative review of the 256K upgrades available for the 800XL. Let me just add a couple of notes: 1) I did not develop the 256KXL but am acting as a distributor for Newell Industries. 2) The 256KXL comes with MYDOS 4.0 which does support a ramdisk in several different configurations. Also, OMNIVIEW256 has resident ramdisk handlers which allow you to use the ramdisk in many environments. What a relief that all the upgrades appear to address the extra memory in the same way! Have we stumbled upon a standard? By the way, the 256KXL does have a switch option to replace the original function of bit 5. With this switch you can tell ANTIC to follow banked memory or stay in main memory when banking occurs. We needed this mod to be compatible with TYPESETTER by XLENT Software. David Young -------
