No worries with uninformed rambling - it's often a good way of just
thrashing through thoughts and ideas. :-D

The 5Si's are usually pretty quick themselves, a good solid 24 pages per
minute - also has 4Mb RAM built onto its mobo and a 4Mb SIMM added to it
which is more than enough to build up a couple of pages in memory. Crucial
still list the memory for the 5Si (both 16 and 32 Mb SIMMs) and I'll
probably chuck in a couple of 32's in the end.
