Here goes:

Text (my translation..) from ad

	"The circuits for 2.5 and 4 MB are ysable on any ST. 520+ (+)
	 and 1040 types can be expanded to 3, 4.5 and 5 MB, of that
	 2.5 or 4 MB is main storage (i.e. TOS memory), and the rest is
	 used as RAM disk. Basically, the MMU and shifter must be socketed,
	 otherwise the computer must be converted by us. All Mega 1s must be
	 handled by us. Please state computer type and year of manufacture
	 when ordering"

(+)	The 520+ is a european breed (?) with a full megabyte 
	installed from Atari.

Price list
	empty PCB, 2.5 & 4 MB	259 DM
	empty PCB, 3 4.5 & 5 MB 348 DM
	RAM to 2.5 MB		744DM
	RAM to 4.0 MB		1396DM
	RAM to 3.0 MB		823 DM
	RAM to 4.5 MB		1478 DM
	RAM to 5.0 MB		1478 MB

(I guess that the `RAM to' prices are including PCB.. The price difference 
seems to indicate that).
