Sure do. I remember popping one of these in under the hood too...

That's OP. Never had one of them.

After a couple of months I didn't have enough memory to load my database. You'd think 640kb would be enough, go figure. Bought a memory expansion board with a whopping 256kb (expensive). But alas, had to get another 256kb within a month. The new '386 fixed that issue in Oct '89. Oh, the good old days.
