  I'm not quite sure whether you were being tongue N cheek,
  or genuinely happy for another megger or had just mis-read
  my posting. 

  To make things clear though, the chips I mentioned are 
  262,144 bits deep by 4 bits wide. ( 256k x 4 ) Thus it 
  only takes 4 of them to make up 512k of ram. They are 
  currently being listed by about 5 or 6 manufacturers.
  
  And yes!!!!!
  It is great to be able to do with 4 chips what it used to
  take 16 chips to do. I looked around before going the
  route I did but did not find anyone who used the megabit
  chips for ST memory expansion. I would prefer these
  on the basis of power consumption, heat dissipation and
  less complexity.

  But not to let you think that things are perfect. One meg
  of ram does makes things easier and a LOT faster 
  ( via ram disk based compiles ) but I have already 
  found myself sighing....

	 ... if only I had just a little more ram...... 8^)
