Yep, got the machine for free 1 year ago, pulled some chips off
of an 8088 board that was laying around and upgraded from 512k to
640k.  That's as high as it goes though.  I have an EMS board
too, but no 30 pin SIMM's.

Anyone got any spare 30pin SIMM's?  I've got 16 empty SIMM 
sockets lying around here.
