Today I saw a 2.5 Megabyte 260ST. The original 260 was expanded with a board that was put in without soldering and that contained the extra 2 Mbytes. I was told there were definitely less than 64 chips ( probably about 16 --> megabits ) and that the package costs around DM1200 ( about $600 ). It comes from a company named Weide Electronics. ( I don't know the address yet ). I was also told that you can only upgrade if you don't have a 1 Mbyte Atari or you will have to remove one memory bank. Looks like maybe not everybody will have to buy the MegaST immediately, although I must admit that the MegaST looks very pretty. The one at Hannover was equipped with a blitter chip and it was said that that is the standard. T68@NIKHEFH.UUCP ( Jos Vermaseren )
