I haven't got the ad with me at the moment, so I cant remember all the
details, but Evesham Micros (in the UK) do one. The adverrtisment I
saw quoted 200 pounds for a fully populated 2.5 meg upgrade, or (I
think) 50 pounds for the unpopulated board. It will work with any ST,
will go up to 4 meg, and is, apparrently, a solderless upgrade.
Hope thats some Hellp (arghh, why does this keyboard repeat some
characters on me?)
