	The CHEAPest way to add 512K to a A1000 is the piggy back memory
	hack. It cost less then $70 (usually) - depends on the cost of
	256kx4 parts. This and the Haynie autoconfig mod are the least
	expensive method of adding 512K, but require soldering iron
	expertise and experience with multi-layer PC board re-work.

	Along this note, I must apologize to Glen Montgomery and one
	other individual about not sending back the copies of the
	above hack and other mods. I have been extremly busy with personal
	bussiness and have not sent out your packages. The good news is that
	I now have electronic versions of all the pieces and will get a
	package together and post it to the binaries group RSN :) I will
	still send hard copies to those who desire though.
