A friend of mine has an IBM EGA card that he bought a year ago.  The
board came with 64K bytes of image memory and he likes to expand it.
The local IBM product center (now NINEX) wants $200 for evey 64k!  In
other words, to bring his board up to 256K, it will cost him $600.
Now, that's three times as much as the clone EGA cards.

Does anyone make a low-cost expansion board for the IBM EGA card?  If
not, how difficult is it to replace the low-density RAMs on the card
with the more dense ones used on the clones?

Thanks for any info.
