Lynn,
You might try getting the program 'Lap-Link', I'm sure there are
some mail order suppliers around.  My understanding is that it is
designed to transfer information between a laptop and a desk model, but
it will work equally between desk top models.  My understanding is that you 
connect the two parallel ports together and run the program.

I have never used it but a co-worker loves it!

Paul

The last official IBM price list that I saw (March) listed the
1887989 FC 4081 Memory Upgrade 8514 512Kb for $169 and a later one 
listed the same thing for $109.

I would double check.  It's just a bunch of cheap DIP's.

You can try going to an IBM dealer and asking for one.  I don't think
IBM charges anything for them but the dealers sometimes do.  If you have
access to a modem, you can also get a copy of the disk off of the IBM
BBS in Atlanta at 404-835-6600.

The 90 has 8 72 pin sockets for 36 bit SIMMs.  If you have the 25MHZ 486SX (fam 
ily 2) you can use 70ns or 80ns memory, of 1,2,4,8MB in size.  With the family  
2 you are also supposed to be able to not have to install SIMM's in matched pai 
rs.  Family 1 25MHZ, 486DX you will have to install in matched pairs, put it    
also supports 85ns as well as 70,80.                                            
You probably have either 2 4MB SIMMS or 4 2MB SIMMS.  Just add 2 more 4MB SIMMS 
to bring your system up to 16MB.  System max is 64MB (8 8MB SIMM). If you have  
2 4MB SIMMS just use the 2 new SIMMS you purchased to fill up the 1st memory    
riser card.  If you have 4 2MB SIMMS, place the two new SIMMS on the second (em 
pty) memory riser card in the bottom and 3rd form the bottom sockets.           
I highly recomend getting the 70ns SIMMs.  If you have trouble with parity or   
memory errors after installing the memory, repost and I will dig up the info    
about reordering SIMMS on the memory riser cards according to whether they are  
high load or low load.

I'm posting this for my friend.
As the subject says, it's an ATI Advantage/2 memory expansion board for
PS/2 50 & 70 (I think) with 512K (expandable to 16MB).
I have absolutely no idea how much the board is worth so any feedback is
welcome and I guess the price of the board would be the best offer I get.
The card has never been used and is still in its original vaccum sealed box.

Please e-mail me since I don't follow this newsgroup.

I have an empty Model 80-041 case (with power supply), and was
wondering if I can install an ISA (or EISA) motherboard in the
case?  Can the PS/2 powersupply power an ISA motherboard?  If yes,
where can I buy the cable/adaptor that makes the connection?
If this isn't possible then I guess I can only use it as a hard
disk drive cabinet, which is a bit of an overkill.

Please respond via email.  Thank you.

I do not know. However you could buy an ATI 8514 Ultra with 1Mb for
$369 from Harmony Computers in NYC.  This card can be used in both MCA
and ISA systems - and it will give much better performance than IBM's
8514/A ...

Both CSHOW and VPIC can use the 8514 interface.  You can get them from

Windows GIF viewers will also work, as long as the 8514 device driver
is being used.
