As far as I know, there is a store here in Houston, TX that sells the Mega2's
and Mega4's with tos 1.4 and blitters installed.  I am not sure whether they
install the chips at the store or if they are shipped with them.  The store is
called THE FLOPPY WIZARD, Memorial City Mall, Houston.  I don't know the exact
address offhand...
