Re: 386-4 MB startup question



Hello!

Hmm, as I said, a mass of those modules are just lying around here, so you
have to pay nothing for it... it would be good if you could pay the
transport fees (ca. $4 or something like that), and that's it. How many
modules do you need?

Kind Regards,

Stephan Hachinger
