Did you ever get your memory upgrade to work?  I purchased a 520A board 
several monthes ago but only recently bought some 1meg chips.  When installing
the chips I noticed the misprint in the instructions.  Do you have the rest
of the instructions?

I haven't attempted to put the board in the machine yet (no time...), but it
didn't look that hard.  Is there anything I should know about that's missing
from the misprinted instructions?  I'm also going to contact those jokers
at tech-specialties to see what they have to say.

At the same time I bought the memory board, I purchased a hard disc.  Didn't
work at first, but after removing and reattaching all the connectors, it did.
I get write errors every once in a while, but it has worked fairly well.

I'd like to hear more stories if you have some.
