Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2346 (EXTRAM X4)

Dear Cory,
  The XR4  (extRAM x 4) is on its way.  It's had a couple of setbacks along the
way and has had to go back into the egg a couple of times.  The circuit board
is very dense to pack a lot onto .5" by 1.5" of real estate.  I expect to have
limited numbers of them to sell by the end of this month.  The price will be
around $170--$190, depending on the manufact;uring yield.  
  The bank-switching will be via software (of course!) using port number 128.
As a bonus, it will be possible to write-protect individual banks via software
when selecting the bank.  So I think even Multiplan should be able to run from
this!
  There will be talk and hoopla when it is finally ready!
