     Are we talking a board swap or a unplug and plug operation on our
current boards?  I have an Aerco ram upgrade and would hate to have to
take it out and put it on a new board just to get the blitter chip, assuming
it fits in there with a blitter inside also.
     
     Also, what is the cost of this up grade going to be and if it is just
     a new set of chips, can we do the installation ourselves?
