Years ago, I upgraded my 800XL to 256k by replacing the 64kb chips, which
sat in sockets, by 256kb chips and adding a small pcb with 8 TTL IC's. It was 
all pretty straightforward. The RAM chips where 7.35 DG each, the TTL stuff was
a few guilders, alltogether it costed me about 95 DG. That would be roughly
$40,- now... 

As far as I know, the 65XE is an 800XL in fancy casing, so you
might be able to do something with the schematics. I wrote an article in the
'Stackpointer' the newsletter of the Univ. computer club. It's in Dutch, but
all that matters is the schematic and the printlayout :-)

Anyone interested in this info, mail your SnailMail address and I will
send you a xerox-copy of the article. I will wait till july first to collect
addresses of interested people. Then I will send them the info. Requests 
coming in later than july first I will not reply to.     

I will need at least a week to dig up the newsletter in my messy room 
anyhow :-). Hopeing that I can do some Atarians a favor,
