It does, however, refer to the 8mb CV Ram card, which leads me to belive
that those are indeed ram chip sockets an not EPROM, etc. That's too bad,
but leaves the question of where do I get the ram chips to stick in
there? I'll be contacting Mr. Diaz, in hopes that he can provide answers,
and perhaps even chips. I still would rather buy from an individual,
rather than Alltec, if anyone has these little creatures.
