I was the one posting about the 3.0 Mb modification; however, having read the
article that explaining it all (it's from a German magazine, I think it's
called 'ST Magazin' or something) I decided I would let someone more experienced
should do the work for me.
Looking in my computer I see 2 SIMMs, and a *LOT* of wire.

The overscan modification is a similar story; it's tricky, and it's all in GERMA
trying to describe any of these in english, but I do not think
*ANYONE* should try to change their ST based on MY description of a german artic
about Math can almost be as satisfying as the real thing,
	 and not half so risky."
