No it can be use uner win9x, but you need to download he windows part of
flexnet also.
There is one exception the laest baycom driver doesn't work under win98
(but under win95), but the driver tath comes with flexnet 3.3e works also
under win98.
But there wil soon be a new flexnet version out and then will the problem
be solved, it shall work under all win32s.

Subject: What about the 512 KB SRAM Chip
I understand that Kantronics typically uses the following chips for the KPC
3 SRAM upgrades:
128K
>Hitachi Hm628128LP
>Toshiba TC551001BPL
>
512K
>Cypress CYM 1465LPD
You can check their web site but I believe that KANTRONICS charges $24.95 US
for the 128KB RAM chip upgrade and $59.95 US for the 512 Kb SRAM upgrade.
PLUS $8 US for shipping etc.
In my view, KANTRONICS prices are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! (Especially if you
consider that the 128 KB SRAM chips typically cost LESS than half as much at
an electronics distributor!! I have not priced the 512KB chip yet but will
do so soon.)
If you find a cheap supplier for the 512KB SRAM chip, please post the name
of the distributor on this Thread.
Thanks

My KPC-3+ came with 128K chip and I am interested in a low cost upgrade to the
512K.
I haven't even priced the Kantronics chip. Nor do I know it's mfg-p/n.
Any ideas or solid info?

They probably consider that they are not an electronics distributor, and
have to send the chips in single quantities, including an instruction
leaflet. Plus they might have to be available on the phone to answer
questions about the installation.
Electronics distributors may quote single-unit prices, but they are not
prepared to ship single chips all over the country to lots of clueless
persons... Their single-unit prices are for clients that usually take
larger orders that may include a couple of random single units.

Rob
I agree that KANTRONICS prices probably also make provision for support.
They may even include some instructions. (But the instructions are already
in the KPC3 and KAM manual).
It is not hard. You replace the chip and typically move a jumper.
I can go into the local electronics distributor and buy ONE 128 KB SRAM chip
