I really don't suggest you get a memory upgrade for the 1040st.  The
power supply inside the computer is kinda "whimpy", and you might
run into problems with it.  If you DO upgrade, I DON'T suggest 4 megs.
Your supply MIGHT be able to handle 2.5 megs, but I would be VERY
hesitant about straining my machine with 4 megs.

Of course, you could rig a PC power supply to the ST, and that would 
solve your problems.....
