 I have just read the blurb on PCDitto II, the internal
board for STs that gives you a PC.  It says that the board
only works on "unmodified" STs.  If I read that correctly, it
means that if I have just upgraded my 1040 to four megs with
a Datafree or Aerco board, I can now pay $300 for the
privilege of ripping outmy four meg ST so I can own a 640K
PC.  Is this correct?  I'd like Avant Garde's comment on this.
   A cartridge system would have presumably allowed you to
leave your ST functioning with whatever memory it had, and would
not prevent you from turning your 520 into a four meg monster.
The Spectre system, for example, gives you a bigger Mac if you
put in more memory.  It seems to me that PCDitto freezes you
at whatever memory you have and i see no way of even expanding the
PC side beyond 640k.  Am I reading that pamphlet correctly?
