To clarify what I said in a previous post: due to manufacturing constraints, a VERY FEW Mega 2's have been produced which can not be upgraded. I was cautioning people who want to upgrade their Mega 2 by getting extra RAM installed at a service center that it is _possible_ that it may not be as simple as just installing the extra RAM. Context, people - please! The new machines which we are producing allow easy memory expansion: STE's by adding SIMMs on the motherboard, and TT by memory expansion cards (the "fast" TT RAM cards use SIMMs as well). -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>
