I would like to convert both my 800XL and my 1200XL to at least 128K so that
the programs I use on my 130XE would also work on the other two.  Namely:
Atariwriter+ and Syncalc+ (130XE version) -- when these programs are available,
no I do not have them yet.  

Question:  does the 256K mod allow for this or does it do a different form of
bank switching/addressing?  If different, would it be possible to do a 128K
only mod that would be compatible?

Also, is anyone planning to produce a circuit board/kit, etc. to make this
conversion easier?  I would definitely be interested in same, assuming cost is
not to much out of line.  (After all, I only paid $139 for my 130XE, why pay
more for an upgrade kit!)
