Apricorn (thinkpad proven vendor) only supports up to a 32meg part for the 365..
if it works, i would sure like to know.. i can sell more memory that way.. :-)i'm certain that if anyone DID manage to get a 64meg part to work in the 365 they WILL hit the cache limitation..

again, if it works, you are ahead, if not, then not..i have heard of a 2nd HDD working (sort of) in a 755 series..
a machine NOT intended to support a 2nd HDD in the ultrabay..

Apart from that, I have a defective 365XD (P100,16MB RAM,810MB HDD, 6xCDROM and TFT) and a 360C (486/33, 16MB RAM, 170MB HDD and TFT when it works)

With 8MB on the motherboard, should I avoid the 64MB SODIMM if I'm running Win95? The twist with the 365X is, that is does not have L2 cache AFAIK. Some people say this means no barriers and some say is means that 32MB is the cache limit. I'm somewhat confused about this, and would like some response.
