#172377 - I've always had to do that!
Responding to: ???'s previous message

There are no "electronics stores" or other non-distributor outlets in the area where I live.

I have never lived in an area where there was a local "electronics store" where you could buy components over the counter.

Mail Order has always been the "norm" here; when I started, it was real mail order - where you posted your hand-written order form with your cheque.
Nowadays, of course, it's all online - but it's still effectively the same thing.

All you need is a bank account.

Or a friend, relative, or colleague with a bank account.

When I started, I was too young to have a bank cheque account - so I would give my Dad the cash, and he'd write a cheque.

(nowadays the roles are reversed - I order stuff for Dad on my RS account!)

Need more Internal RAM              01/01/70 00:00
   Yes, but they handle it the same as external RAM              01/01/70 00:00
   Look here              01/01/70 00:00
      Ok              01/01/70 00:00
   complicated and complicated              01/01/70 00:00
   why?              01/01/70 00:00
   It's Not Really So Complicated--And....              01/01/70 00:00
      someone recently posted a link to a 805x with 64kB of RAM              01/01/70 00:00
      Proper methodology can't really bound the memory requirement              01/01/70 00:00
      That's My Point              01/01/70 00:00
   RAM expansion need not be complicated!              01/01/70 00:00
      MOVX problem              01/01/70 00:00
         No              01/01/70 00:00
            unless you have external glue logic              01/01/70 00:00
               Yes              01/01/70 00:00

      There are much larger SPI memories              01/01/70 00:00
   Look at Wiz chip              01/01/70 00:00
      Link?              01/01/70 00:00

            Overkill?              01/01/70 00:00
               and expensive?              01/01/70 00:00
                  When at electronics store              01/01/70 00:00
                     Which one?              01/01/70 00:00
                     How does that compare with ordering from outside?              01/01/70 00:00
