I talked with Andrew Stone (Stone Design -- TextArt, Create, etc) yesterday
and he just ordered, received, and successfully installed 4Mb SIMMs purchased
from ???? for $189/4Mb.  This unnamed companies phone # is (405)332-6581.

The same memory Simms are required for both the Station & the Cube (although,
cube owners appear to worry about high vs. low profile SIMMs.)

Yes, you are left with 16Mb in 1 bank and 4Mb in the other bank = 20Mb.

SIMMs from the slab/cube are supposed to work in the Macs, but I haven't 
PERSONNALY tried it.
