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.
