Perhaps I mis-understood an earlier message, but did someone claim to have
bumped the memory in this VGA card to 512KB?  I didn't think that was
possible (since on my card, the space for the RAM is there, but the
sockets aren't).  If it is, please clue me in.  I bought the card because
it was cheap, but now I wish I had waited for the VGA Professional (in order
to get the 640x480 256 color mode).  It seems that some sort of modification
might be possible, since the Pro and the Plus seem identical, save for
the extra RAM sockets and a different ROM.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
