Modification or expansion by anyone except qualified personnel voids the equipment's warranty and could cause damage." I consider myself to be "another qualified technician", since it is part of my official duties at SLAC to be able to perform modifications of this nature (e.g. installing RAM, replacing EPROMs, replacing circuit boards and the like, being aware of any problems involved such as static, bending pins on chips etc).
