7433.0. "LPv+ Upgrade Questions" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Joe Goyette) Tue May 06 1997 15:38

Hi,

I have a DECpc LPv+ 466d2 pc.

I want to add a large hard drive to it but I don't know if the BIOS will
support
it. The BIOS rev is 1.01.02 and has never been upgraded. Does anyone know if
it will support a large (2gb) drive ? If not, does anyone know how to go about
upgrading it ? 

I also want to bring it up to 32 mb of memory from the 16mb that it currently
has. Right now all four of the memory slots are full. Do I have to add new
memory in pairs or anything like that ? What type of simms does this pc
require ?

What about adding an overdrive processor to it ? 

Thanks for any help/info you can provide.

-joe

Thanks Owen.

Those specs were very helpful.

It looks like the largest supported drive is 500Mb... I guess
I need to track down a bios upgrade now.
