[ blah blah blah ]

I'm looking for a good, durable, and cheap plug-in (no soldering please!)
memory upgrade for a standard 512K 520ST.  I'm considering getting an
upgrade from a company called Tech Specialties Co.  (they have ads in
Computer Shopper magazine a lot.)

They sell two kinds of boards:

   a)  one board with room for upgrades of 1Mb, 2.5Mb, and 4Mb,
       costing $179, $495, and $995 respectively.  (You are supposedly
       able to just plug in different chips to get more memory.
   b)  a standard 1Mb upgrade, with the RAM chips soldered on to a
       1Mb-only sized board.  Cost is $129.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this company and/or with
these products?

(By the way, they also sell SCSI 20Mb hard drives that connect through
the DMA port for $595...)
(Disclaimer:  I don't know anyone in that company, have no experience
at all with them, am not advertising their products with the intent to
bring them any business other than my own, etc...)   :)
