The only extra memory I can use is a Cirtech PlusRAM board which I can use
as a ramdisk (drive F:). Cirtech supply a program to set it up, but it only
works under 2.23 and above, so far as I can remember. I also now have
(possibly temporarily) the use of an AST SprintDisk - I'll see what I can
do with that, if anything.
