All you need to do is pop in the 4 1MB SIMMS and cut ot the '256K' resistor.
You do not need to install a resistor in the 'one' position.  This will give
you 4 MB of main memory.  The 128K ROM's can handle 4 megs with no
problems. The only real 'problem' is the cost of those SIMMS! (~$1500/4
megs).
