What is involved with the 16M memory upgrade? Is this something that is easy to install, or enable with a software switch?

I have no complaints about my machine but am not happy with the ethernet option. I have had nothing but difficulty in getting it to work and very few people know anything about it. I have spent hours troubleshooting it instead of making parts. I sort of feel like I don't have the right to complain since it is very cleary stated in the HAAS Ethernet manual that they are not responsible for making the machine communicate with your network. On the other hand it is a $3000 option that isn't doing me any good, and their literature is vague at best on how to make it work.

In hindsight i should have just purchased the memory upgrade for 1/3 the price and just lived with the floppy or RS-232.

Any thoughts or input appreciated.....

I believe field installed mem upgrades require new processor boards as that is where the mem is located. Probably cost around $2500.

If you got the ethernet option though don't you already have a couple gig harddrive?

Did Haas come and set your machine up? I usually get their techy guys to set this stuff up. They know how to do it proper. Even calling their support up might help a bit. I certainly would try. For a $3000 option they better make it work. I always put that to them up front. If they don't I call them in for a warranty claim. It is your right to get service for something that you paid for.
