To answer my own question, it is true according to the interview in
Byte magazine, so I'll post another question:
The upgrade of the 1040ST to 4 meg involves swapping the 256K RAM's
to 1 Meg. The 1 Megs have two more pins which the article said could
be bent out. DO they need to be connected to something (like more
address lines)?. Also, is there any reason this same trick cannot be
done with a 520 (using piggybacked 1 Meg chips)?
