The upgrade policy allows for 3rd party modified boards.  The pricing is
as follows:

1) 800K internal drive and new ROMS	$299

2) New logic board  -- requires upgrade #1
	512K Standard Mac		$599
	128K Standard Mac		$799
	Modified Mac			$799

In your specific case, you can get the new ROM and internal 800K disk drive
for $299 from your dealer when available.

If you want the additional upgrade of the new logic board, it will cost you
an additional $200.
