Let me get this straight....

I can't buy a EIA/RAM combo card with 1.0meg on board and plug it into
one of my two free slots?  One slot is occupied with a 512K board.

I have a little manual called:

"EIA/RAM Combo Board Installation Guide" (999-300-1931S)
which has a table that shows:

TOTAL		CPU			EXPANSION MEMORY
SYSTEM		ON-BOARD
MEMORY		MEMORY		SLOT 1     SLOT 2            SLOT 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------

2.0 MB		0.5 CPU		1.0 EIA		*	    0.5 RAM
				*		1.0 EIA     0.5 RAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Plus all other permutations of expansion boards/CPU/EIA,etc...

It even has a picture of an EIA/RAM expansion board with 2 RS-232
ports on the back of *ONE* board (NOT COVERING UP ALL THREE SLOTS).

SO...  Can I, or Can't I have both the 512K memory board + the
EIA/RAM expansion board at the same time???????
