You could do like I am and buy a larger RAM expansion to fit into the A500
"trapdoor".  I'm getting one this week, a 4 meg Baseboard expansion, for $369
(add $25 for overnight air, $8 for second day air, $5 for C.O.D.)  Anyway, $369
is the best price I've seen it for and that's available from The Software Shop,
Inc., 22 Front St., Worcester, MA  01614.  Their number for orders is
1-800-752-0050.  Questions answered at (508) 756-6452.

Of course, after purchasing one, you'll have an A501 lying around...
