It is certainly listed, and I ordered 3 of them recently and got them
in 3 weeks approximately.  Part#, name etc are as follows.

N7013		DSP 96KB Memory Expansion Kit


By the way, I don't think MusicKit will start using additional DSP RAM
automatically.  At least 2.1 MusicKit driver/monitor is hard-assembled
for 8kword stock configuration.

Hmmm.  I wonder what happened to the "mission-critical application"
development for their own use.  They've had NeXTSTEP for full 3 years
and still doesn't have a decent order management system?
