Today I saw a 2.5 Megabyte 260ST.
The original 260 was expanded with a board that was put in
without soldering and that contained the extra 2 Mbytes.
I was told there were definitely less than 64 chips ( probably
about 16 --> megabits ) and that the package costs around DM1200
( about $600 ). It comes from a company named Weide Electronics.
( I don't know the address yet ).
I was also told that you can only upgrade if you don't have a
1 Mbyte Atari or you will have to remove one memory bank.
Looks like maybe not everybody will have to buy the MegaST immediately,
although I must admit that the MegaST looks very pretty.
The one at Hannover was equipped with a blitter chip and it was said
that that is the standard.
