Re: RamWorks Expander Modification?

["Mark Cummings" <NOTfigjams@primus.com.au>]

I don't have one of those Expander cards, but the RWIII manual indicates
that pins 1, 2, 3 & 13 on the row of 24 pins (1 is at the bottom) should be
cut for a Rev-B 512K Expander that is being used on a RWbasic, RWII or
RWIII.
It also states that this modification is not required for the Rev-C 512K or
2M expander.
A comical note says to count the pins carefully as they take a long time to
grow back. :)

I guess you need to know what Revision the Expander it is first, or
hopefully someone has a manual on the Expander (if there ever was one), but
there is no mention of pins 20 & 21 so I suspect they _SHOULD_ be there.
