These things are more or less worthless unless they are used in a model 50
or 60. They are only really usable in the 286 class machines, and expanded
memory isn't all that useful anyway. I'd use an extended memory board over
the expanded memory board any day. With a full 8mb of ram, I'd say the
expanded memory board would be worth no more than $10. I've bought the 2mb
simms it uses for around $1ea locally.
