A recent issue of "ST World" (Vol II, No 5, there is an article titled "3 Megabyte 520ST" which describes their experience with a product called "DoubleThink Plus" which, they said, will take a 520 to 2.5 megabytes and take a 1040 or upgraded 520 to 3 megabytes. The suggested retail price is $699, and the company address is listed as ThoughtSpace Development 2450 Warring Street, No 21 Berkeley, CA 94704 (415) 845-1415. The thing installs without any soldering. You need needlenose pliers and screwdriver to open the case. The only negative mentioned by the article was that booting the system and loading programs take longer, about 10 seconds per accessory... and for loading programs, add 15 to 30 seconds. -- L. J.
