I'll buy that!
Think I was running 11.1 IP Plus and higher before I
upgraded, but I also maxed out mem and flash before I
switched to 12.2 E+ as well. Also think my roms were
fairly new.
One cool thing I noticed when I was working on the
memory upgrades was one of my 2501's not only had two
flash simm slots, it also had a pcmcia slot that was
only accessible when the case was open - Haven't
looked up what you can do with it yet but I'm thinking
it's just more flash capacity?
L8tr,
Barney
