I'm looking for some recommendations for the upgrade of a 512K Mac
to a Plus...i need information on prices/addresses/etc....

i believe such an upgrade includes 512k more ram, 128k roms, scsi
port, and 800k drive

the cheapest i have come by so far is $599 for a daughterboard that
must be installed by the user...does anyone know about such
boards...apparently if your cpu is ceramic (purple) then soldering is
required...but if your cpu is plastic (black) then the board snaps
on...how do u install the 800k drive?...has anyone done this before?
...anyone help?

also, is it just cheaper to buy a plus?...i really would rather
upgrade
if i can find a price better than $599....
