Re: vortex memory upgrade?

EEK! My name used in vain!!! 

Now, it's been a lot of years since I was involved there, and I never had 
any direct knowledge of the inner workings of the Vortex. But I do know 
that the answer to the obvious question of memory expansion was always 
NO. Don't even ask.

This does not mean that some folks will find away to stuff all kinds of 
memory in there, and it might not even blow up. But I'll wager everything 
I've got left after 12/31/1999 that the software won't recognize it. 
Reversable? Undo? I wouldn't take that chance, unless I wasn't concerned 
about not having a Vortex any more.
