Simm RAM Question?????????????????????
I fix/build computers. Mainly desktops but I have fixed some laptops. It all started 5 years ago when I was in 5th grade. I got my own desktop but I had to build it. Someone tought me how so I did. My grandfather had 128K Simm RAM that he gave me. It didnt fit but 128k seemed like a lot to me at the time. I didnt know I had 1GB of RAM in that desktop which was obviously alot more. As time went on I got more computers. But here I am today living with 26 computers. Out off all the parts/broken computers people have givin me I never got this RAM put to use. None of my computers take it from what I know. I have a gateway essential and an aptivia IBM and thats the oldest I have gone in fixing. (1997) I did receive an old TRS-80 and a Cummuter portable brick that runs dos 2 and has a mono color screen. I am tempted to go into those computers and find out for my self. I never screwed up a computer in all 5 years but this one is worth a couple hundred and I dont want to risk it. But should I go in for a look? Its not like a tower but take a look in the picture below. The computer is made by visual. The difference in the one in the pic and mine is the floppy drive. The one in the link below is an exact match but mine has no screen.

You answered one of my questions. Thanks. Any ways, knowing you have not screwed up any computers, I would go into it, but I'd be very very very careful!!! This thing is considered an antique, so the reason why its two hundred dollars. Obviously it didn't cost that much back in the dos days. Again, be carefully as its an antique, and worth some money. Lots of money. Also make sure you have some knowledge and don't touch anything unless you know what you are doing (daahhh). I would also experiment on some newer ones first (even though you already have). So I would do it. Just be carefully, as these are rare. Also that's a cool dos computer you got. Very rare. You should figure out how to get the screen back on it also. Just search for some parts, or create your own some how.
