I have a memory expansion board for my 1040 that has suddenly died.
The board is made by AERCO.  It has been working for about 6 months
then suddenly the video is garbage.  Has anyone had experiences like
this.  If I remove the board I can run as a normal 1040.  I suspect 
a bad solder joint somewhere.  Has anyone used a memory board they 
can really reccommend?  This board is a nice idea but the quality of the
manufacturing is really poor.  Many land areas on the PWB are too
small contributing (imho) to the soldering problems.
