I have their 2 MB upgrade for the standard mac.  It seems to work
fine.

One side story.  After upgrading to 2 MB, I took my mac in for the
ROM/drive upgrade.  When I came to pick it up the repairman at the
dealer told me that there was a bad connection somewhere in my mac
which, despite spending an hour looking for it, he was unable to
locate.  He stated that he had disassembled the mac numerous
times, reseated the expansion board repeatedly, etc., but to no
avail.  Demonstrating it to me, he would turn on the mac, the bong
would occur, but the screen sould stay blank.  He would then jiggle
the motherboard, and sure enough, the insert disk icon would appear!

My mac's "problem" of course was that he had never seen a 2 MB mac
before.  It takes roughly 10 sec after power up for it to complete
the RAM diagnostic.  By that time he would be jiggling connectors
and would assume that his jiggling made it start working.
