Obviously not too happy about that, and they will not tell me what brand or type of ram they use. Apparently it is a "proprietary ram" which I cannot buy from a PC store. I don't believe this for a second. Should I continue looking for alternatives, or simply accept this ridiculous quotation? Lo.	Lohsing (219)

Can you pull the memory bank out of the copier and have a look at the slots? Also the manual may give more detailed RAM specs. I wouldn't be surprised if you can use generic RAM in it, I'd certainly give that a go before paying for Konica branded stuff.	Sb0h (3744)
