  The good news is that you do not need to buy any boards for your
system.  Simply purchase 27 256K chips (Intel 21256 or equivalent) and
plug them into the memory board that is already in your system
(take out the 64K chips first).  Then set the DIP switch to ON-ON-
OFF-ON.  Plug everything back in and power-up.  The screen should say
that your memory size has changed to 896K.  (I'm not 100% sure of the
DIP settings - it's from memory; if you don't get 896K try different
settings, but always leave switch 4 ON.  Worst case
scenario is 8 different settings to try).
  The 256K chips are running about $80 for 32, but check around.
Installing them requires care that you do not damage them with static
electricity.

If you have a Rainbow memory card with 64K chips in it, all you need
to do is replace them with 256K chips.  You will need to adjust the
dip switch settings to accomodate the new chips.  You don't need to
get a new board.
