Data General Corp. has announced that its Eclipse 5/140 minicomputer will now be available with 1.5 and 2 MB (megabyte) memory configurations. Previously the 5/140 had a maximum of 1MB. The 2 MB configured system will cost $8,000 more than the 1 MB system. The announcement will be welcome news for libraries considering Avatar, DataPhase or Online Systems Inc. turnkey automated library systems because it will allow such installations to be substantially expanded without re-placing the CPU.
