I've just seen a 2MB SRAM card sell for about 40 pounds on ebay. Any idea why they are so expensive?

I'm going to get some compact flash cards to start running new programmes on the HP 100LX and to transfer things to/from the PC. I might also install Windows 3.0 on it if I can find a copy.

Here's a photograph of it working: http://stevecoates.net/stuff/hp100lx.jpg

Meanwhile, if you fancy a 386 machine and have a spare 12 million pounds, you could buy this Compaq which has a gas plasma display: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270726354443

What is the deal with that auction? The last comment in the sales description states "You get the warehouse that sits inside." Any ideas?

I saw that. I'm really not sure.

Got to love the answer to the question:

Q: Forgive me however, are you aware that this item is listed for £12.8 million? With kind regards.
A: I have not seen. Where? You can send me a link? Thanks Danny

They seem fairly rare, so are sort after. Plus they don't seem to appear often.

A600 owners are also always on the look out for them to add soem much needed fast ram... especially now the A608 project has failed dismally.
