I think thats what he's trying to say (hehe A satilite uplink system!)
I was pretty sure all along that ti wasn't going to even *want* let
alone *tell* people to solder chips onto their calcs! Besides, why
would they spend the money to put the ram onto the calcs if it wasn't
going to be used, it doesn't make sense.
(Besides, I have rom 1.11 and the "chip" that everyone said was supposed
to be in there because the "ram was already there" was not there, It
must have been started by someone that didn't know where the chip was
supposed to be. Also, it wouldn't take any special rom version, cause
the fargo guys said that the rom in there was capable of using 256k ram
the way it was, they just threw in a new rom chip cause thats where the
ram had to be put.)
