I have 2100 (5/250) and the inclination! If you can give me Drew's patches
and a howto use them I will give them a go. Please note that I am no coder,
but I do at least understand how C and makefiles are laid out.

Any suggestions where I can either get a SIMM board or 512MB card from,
cheap? My 2100 on has 128MB of RAM.

As a side note, 4.9 works fine, even with SMP. It even has the double speed
clock issue resolved on the ISO! Yay!
