|But Bruce, you only have one card installed, a combo card with no memory
|on it.  I have a combo card with 1.5 meg, voice card and tape drive.  You'd
|be surprised how much of a load those cards can add to the machine, especially
|the voice card.  Let's see what happens when you add the 1.5 meg of ram on 
|the combo card (you have an extra power supply right :-).

	Actually the combo card has 0.5 meg on it.

	I suppose the needed extra 1.0 meg of memory
	will stress the supply more, but somehow I
	am not worried (perhaps foolishly?). The 3B1
	supply ought to still be within its published
	ratings...

Cheers,
