	Like many of my peers out there in computerland, I'm studying various 
products I can use to enhance my Mac 512KE to 2M RAM with SCSI port, and a hard
disk.

	I've been archiving your valuable responses and anecdotes since early
November.  Two such anecdotes on memory upgrades were as follows:

	...The "snap" part of the installation was VERY DIFFICULT -- I spent 
about an hour fussing with it before I got it properly installed.  My thumbs 
eventually wore out and I got out a wooden dowel and a rubber mallet to gently 
tap the board into place.  All in all, about a 3 hour job.  I wouldn't 
recommend it except to those with experience doing this kind of work.  ...

	... I recently upgraded my 512Ke to a 2Mb Mac with SuperMac's Enhance 
upgrade.  It has been a reliable upgrade, no problems.  It includes a SCSI 
port, a quiet fan, and 1 year warranty. Often you get upgrades from SuperMac 
cheaper than Dove or Apple. ...

	Brian's experience has aroused by interest.  But I haven't seen any
Enhance-Upgrade advertisements from SuperMac.  Has SuperMac stopped producing
these Mac 512KE upgrades?  Is installing the SuperMac's 512KE 2Meg upgrade +
SCSI as difficult as installing Dove's Dove MacSnap 548S as David Anderson
described?

	What about MacMemory products?  The only memory-enhancement product 
for the Mac512KE I have recently seen advertised is Dove MacSnap products.

	I shall be browsing through the Dec issue of MacWorld about the various
 hard disks on the market while awaiting your responses.   I'll also faithfully
monitor all your further anecdotes of your hard disks woes & recommendations.


               ...Thanks for your patience & your "2-bits worth.

Oh yah, For the Apple Staff out there: I trashed my pre-released (circa 1984)
MacDraw.  It was dead weight and taking up floppy space.

Oh...I almost forgot.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!
