[NTLK] Installing the internal Emate memory expansion

[Dan]

I was afraid of that.  I don't recall Franks post about it offhand but
the flashing light and beeping indicated a fault to me.  :/  Now the
question is to return it (bought it on ebay with a 30 day warranty) or
see if it can be fixed.....

I never had a emate with the module, does it really make much of a
difference?  I know heap would be increased and make it easier for large
heap using applications such as web surfing, although I am not
interested in doing so at this point.
