Say *what*??  You actually have the RAMPACK (256K units) attached to 8201's?
How does it connect to the NEC, via the side-port system bus?  What software do
you have to run to access the RAMPACK?

Oops, excuse me for not introducing myself.  I've been an "NEC enthusiast"
since 1984, having previously owned the 8201, but now the 8300.  Ron Weisen and
I have been chatting lately about the possibility of using a RAMPACK on the NEC
instead of only the Tandy Model 100.  From your message, it sounds like the
porting of the RAMPACK to the NEC had been done MANY years ago.

Are any of the NEC-flavor RAMPACK's still available from the last place you
purchased one?  Thanks for any information you can provide.

Gary.
