	I had been thinking about a 256k expansion for the 800xl I bought in
a firesale for $45.00, but somebody's beat me to it.  Check the current issue
of Byte (Sept.) for details.  It uses 256k memory chips and a handful of glue
chips for decode & refresh.  Should be able to build it for about $50.00.
Ramdisk software is provided on that stupid BBS system that Byte runs instead
of printing code for articles.  I find this an annoying policy that Byte
adopted so that it has room for even more ads.  This sure beats a 130XE: you've
got room for 2 full single density ramdisks, or 1 DD ramdisk.

If anyone gets a copy of the software, please post.
