 Why doesn't Atari make the mother board upgradable on the 1040ST etc
(i.e. a switch option to allow both 256K and 1M chips). I have seen this
on AT boards etc.

Don't get me wrong... I really like my Atari (and that other computer
I own that starts with a 'A'). But the marginal cost of upgradability
for the capability gained - why was this done to begin with?
