Could you tell me more about this? I have a TP701C that I have tried to
add add'l 16MB RAM (to 24MB) and upgrade to W95, but I can't seem to get
around W95 constant "page faults". Yes, I did upgrade with the latest BIOS
>from the IBM web site. Anyway, I haven't touched it for a few months now,
but if you know of a workable upgrade path I'd be interested. If I
succeed, I may then try to upgrade the HD, but one thing at a time.
 
 Thanks... Bruce
