No sense in reviving old computers

do you ever max out your 6GB RAM?
Speaking of maxing out RAM
about 12 years ago someone who was getting rid of junk gave me an ISA,
RAM extension board. I put it in my Zenith Data Systems 286 and got 16
megs of RAM recognized. The max amount a 286 can address!
At the time the machine was made 16 megs of RAM would have been (almost)
an impossibility and probably cost over $50,000
The RAM was probably bigger than the biggest disk drive
at the time :-)
