Part I.
I am looking to expand my A500 to three megabytes.  I already have an A501-
type expansion and I would prefer that the additional two megs be external
or at least not the "trap door" type.

I wanted to query the collective wisdom of this newsgroup on which expansions
I should look at and which ones I should avoid.  I am looking for the most
cost-effective was to do this.  I also don't expect to expand past 3 megs
before I get a 3000 (in about a year).

Part II.
I have the chance to get a used A1000 for my girlfriend (who I don't think 
will worry about 2.0 that much :-) and I need suggestions for a 512K 
expansion for it.  (The machine I am looking at has 512k in it, and she'll
need a meg for the word-processing stuff she'll be doing).



Thanks in advance for your help.  I will post a summary of this if enough
requests for forwarded info come in.
