The answer to my MassTech 2MB upgrade problem seems to have been defined.
I have spoken with an electronics shop in Cambridge, MA, about the problem.
These folks apparently know the principals of the defunct company, and have
dealt with several of the boards.  The story is that the upgrade is not
(PERIOD!) compatible with the 128K ROMs.  This is purportedly due to a change
to the ROMs after the board was being built.  There is no apparent fix for
the problem, so the upgrades are good as expensive souveniers (and maybe
as a source of memory chips).

My condolences to others in the same boat.  My thanks to all who have responded
with help and encouragement.  I'm off to get my MacMemory board installed.
After running 2MB, using 512k is intolerable.  Are we spoiled, or what?
