Chris,

    My roommate's Mega ST2 has 6 sockets for TOS, but only two are
occupied.  We finally got the nerve to open the computer the other night
(he purchased it last August).  He has the older motherboard with space
for 2 more banks of 1megabit chips, and as I said, 6 TOS sockets.  There
is also an interesting modification to the 68000.  A few of the pins on
it are bent UP, with wires running to a 7474 chip (if my memory serves
me correctly).  And the 7474 chip was piggy-backed onto another chip!!!!
Interesting, to say the least.  The drive came out nicely, easily
detachable from the motherboard to which it is connected via a ribbon
cable and power cable.  There is a place to plug another drive in (such
as a hard drive), an internal DMA port, and of course, the expansion
bus.  I was surprised to see how much room is really available inside
the Mega case.

    Oh yes, it is a Rev. 5 motherboard.
