     In addition to purchasing the 8-up board, I would seriously consider
the SIMM version (which they have discontinued but can still be found) over
the dip version.  They discontinued it because of the high cost of simms 
compared to dipps, people were not buying the 8up until the dip version came
out.
     Simms, as you probably know, are a hell of a lot painless and safer (no
pins to worry about.  Just snap it in and it works).  The thing that has
changed is that Simms are dirt cheap now.  You can buy 1x8 80ns SIMMS in
the $75-80 dollar range now for a 1 meg module.
     Go for it...                                later, jason
