Fairlight-CMI

Hi Chris,
yes I'm still waiting for 32MB RAM cards too, I told Peter I would
order two also a while back.

for the time being, I swapped out all 7 of my 2MB RAM cards with
two 8MB RAM cards.  This helps a lot and cuts down on heat.
I can add back in some more 2MB cards but then I'm sort of
back in the heat-generating business again.  I live in a hot place
so I don't need to generate more artificial heat :-)

David
