[SunRescue] off topic: looking for cisco 25xx docs

True.  http://www.google.com will work as well.  (There are _way_ too many
search engines out there!)

Too much data really - it's hard to separate out the important bytes. (I
recall printing out four reams of paper just to find the data I needed!  But
then I was young and foolish at the time ;-)

Oddly enough I recall having one model open at one point and was surprised
to see a 486sx chip on the board so maybe they went "cheap" for one model.
As for the ram - *gameshow voice* "You are correct sir!".  They will take
regular 36-bit SIMMs but if you have a warranty Cisco is _really_ picky
about the RAM you install and who it's made by.  (I can't say I blame them
as I've seen what bad RAM can do. *shudder*)  Anyway check your warranty
before buying the ram.  Also some models will only take 1, 2, 4, or 8 meg
SIMMs but not anything larger.

Sincerely,
