TRS-80 Model IV

Maxing out the RAM is probably not a bad idea, but I'd suggest you attempt to
figure out why the non-working ones don't work, and, if that's the only problem
you can't solve, I'll happily send you the necessary DRAMs for the cost of
postage.

These are not complicated machines, so, once you've found the software and once
you've located the defective components, they're probably pretty easy to fix,
aside from the somewhat touchy business of desoldering parts from the rather
low-quality PCB's.
