On a similar note, 1MB parity SIMMs are pretty dirt cheap right now. I
have 10 PM2e's remaining in my analog arsenal, and I upgraded them all in
less than $250. The 1MB simms were something like $6 a pop.

Our PM2e's have given us nearly two years of trouble-free service, and
they are still kicking. $250 is hardly a large investment when you think
back how much cash you have spent upgrading your home computer.
