I own an Atari St with a measly 520K RAM and would like to upgrade it to
1040K but at the present i cant afford the slot in RAM boards that are 
available. So, what i was wondering is there a cheaper DIY method that i
can use? I had a look inside the ole ST the other day and noticed that
there are 4 available spaces for DRAM chips!!

Right, what i need to know is, has anyone out there upgraded their ST
themselves and if successfully could they let me know how they did it. I
need to know what type of chips to buy and how to go about inserting
them....

I can handle a soldering iron so that should be no problem, im just
scared of sending my trusty ST into orbit when i switch it on after
attempting to upgrade it!

Any info, hints, tips, hatemail greatly appreciated..

Thanx,

Donald
