I just called a company in Houston called tech-Specialities that I saw in 
Computer Shopper.  They art offeringing solderless upgrades to 1,
2.5 and 4 meg for the ST as well as another Hard Disk alternative.  Here is
a brief summary.

Hard disk unit-- Seagate ST225
	       	 cabinet (space for 2 HDs)
		 150W power supply (can power 520ST and get rid of cables!)
		 DMA -> SCSI
		 HD Controller (can control 2 HDs)
		 all for $595
	This hard disk and cabinet can be used for future expansion 
	of an additional drive in the cabinet as well as DMA -> SCSI 
	capability(don't know if its true SCSI though).  In addition, you
	can power your 520 directly from the cabinet to get rid of another
	black box and cable.

1, 2.5, 4 Meg Upgrade
		 plugs onto mother board (no soldering required)
		 trade-in deal on 1 Meg board if you want to upgrade
		  	to 2.5 or 4 meg (when 1 meg chip prices come down)
		 1 Meg upgrade is $169 ($84.50 in trade-in on bigger upgrades)


Has anyone done any business with this company?  How do these things sound?

Here's their address and phone.  If you call, call between 4 and 7 pm Houston
time for a real person.  Other times have an answering machine.
