I would personally NOT recommend the Tandy 512K upgradde for
two reasons. 1) It is overpriced. 2) The chips are mounted on the
bottom of the board rather than the top, which can lead to
overheating problems, especially if you upgrade to 1Meg.
I like the Performance Peripherals (sp?) upgrade myself, and
they can be gotten for as little as $69.95.
