Well since I am pretty much convinced that it can't hurt giving out
the upgrade (its only you who is taking total responsibility for any changes
you make and warrantees you break) I am going to try to make the upgrade
instructions available.

Since the AT&T UNIX pc and the Convergent S/50 is *OFFICIALLY* a dead
product line, I can't see why anyone would have gripes on giving out
these instructions.

The instructions consist of 8 photocopies.  WARNING:  The copies are
probably at least 4th generation by now and they are not the best, but 
they are certainly readable and workable.  The important part of the upgrade
are the first two pages.  The first one explaining the actually instructions
for installing the 16R4 PAL, capacitor and the 9 jumpers.  The second
page explains the equations that need to be programmed into a PAL16R4A
(which I don't have the facilities to make and/or distribute).  All I can
give are the instructions, you'll have to make arrangements to get the
PAL programmed.

Please send US mailing address, and $2.50 to cover the shipping,
photocoping and handling charges to:
