(what a concept..! better sit down folks...) Atari never stated that the STe was expandable... in fact, Allen Pratt tried to warn people about just this very possibility. Atari puts in whateve parts are cheaper that week, SIPPs or SIMMs, without any concern about whether or not the end user will be able to expand the machine. Charles Cherry, when he was at Atari, said that the TT is officially the *FIRST* Atari product to be expandable. So with the STe, you pays your money and you takes your chances... BobR
