  Has anybody out there heard about upgrading a 1040ST to 2 megabytes ?
  At an Atari expo in San Jose in August, I saw one (1) vendor with a
  board to add 1 meg to the 1040, and the board was a prototype at that.
  He projected a price of $450 and delivery Real Soon Now.  

  From my point of view, 1 megabyte = $100 from just about any mail order
  place.  Add in a couple bucks for possible address decoding, etc., and
  even $80 for profit and just being a nice guy.  That's only $200.  Why 
  hasn't anyone jumped into this niche yet ?

  As a semi-serious C programmer working under the micro C-shell (!) and
  a ramdisk, I would certainly relish another meg of ramdisk.  Yeah, yeah,
  I know -- buy a hard disk.  $650.  Ugghhhh.  Any and all suggestions,
  hardware kludges, and info regarding adding meg's to a 1040ST are
  hereby solicited.  Thanks in advance.
