Re: what variation of mk4096 4k rams work in an Apple II.

[Mike Willegal <mike@willegal.net>]

Yeh,  I can remember the first night I had it, getting the machine home 
and starting to type in some program and running out of memory!

I remember expanding to 36K total memory cost a couple of hundred 
dollars, mail order.

Oh, I suppose I could just change the jumpers on with 16k memories, and 
I expect it would have a good chance of running as a 4k machine, but it 
wouldn't be the same.

Also I'm finding out that a lot of these obsolete parts distributers 
want to deal with only corporations, not individuals.

Mike Willegal
