---snip--- Hi I guess I'm like you. I have a Olivetti M20 and wanted to get the CPM-8000 running on it. The original memory cards had 16K DRAMs that gave the system 224K. To run CPM-8000 I needed to have 64K DRAMs. It required that I unsolder the DRAMs, some capacitors and cut a power line to configure for the larger DRAMs. While I would have prefered to get the larger memory boards from the manufacture, this was not all that practical. I felt that getting working images of the CPM-8000 was more important. A computer that doesn't work is an interesting pile of hazardous waste. One that works is a window into what was. Dwight
