There was a place in Philly advertising to do the job for about
$700 in Computer Shopper. I don't know if they still do or not.
I came across something interesting in Mac Week the other day.
In the back there are 1/4 or 1/8th page ads from different small companies.
One of them was advertising a 68030 board for the SE. Ok, no problem. The
funny part was at the very end of the ad, where they said "Prices from $XXXX
(68020 from $XXX), available also for Plus, 512KE and 128KE."
"HUH?" I said? There is no such thing as a 128KE! So I called them
(I love 800 numbers) They say that this is essentially correct, you add the
128K ROMs from a plus or a 512KE and an 800K drive, plug in thier board and
just us it (something about it having 2 or 4Meg RAM.) If this works then there
is a viable aternative to the standard upgrade. (The add on board has a
SCSI port on it too.)
