Scott Bigham asks:

>How does one go about getting a blitter upgrade chip?
 
Sorry Scott, there IS no blitter chip upgrade, never was, never will be.
 
If you have a 520 or 1040 ST, Atari's "upgrade" policy on the blitter is
exactly the same as their "upgrade" policy on memory expansion:
 
Trash your current computer, and buy a new one, in this case a Mega ST with
a blitter chip already installed.

(If anyone can find anything to support any other conclusion, I'd love to
hear it.)
