As there seems to be interest in somehow upgrading slap on the side products
for the A1000  into Zorro  II boards for the A2000, we would like to propose
the following:

	For only those A1000 memory products which use SOCKETED 256Kx1 ram
	chips, send us your A1000  SOTS board,  we'll remove the ram chips
	to one of our 2MI's, then send both boards back to you.

	The normal retail price  of the 2MI is $599. For this offer, we'll
	make the price $325 (you pay postage both ways).

	We will test the ram chips you  supply (on your sots board) and we
	will replace up to 2 of them without charge. If you have more than
	2 bad ram chips we will replace them for $5 each.

	This offer is not good for UNSOCKETED (SOLDERED) ram arrays.

	We will provide the same high level of software support and warranty
	as if we had supplied the rams ourselves.

	You can do whatever you like with the resulting unpopulated SOTS
	product (like sell it to defray the cost of the upgrade).

	NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE:

	If you have a 2 megabyte Alegra card, we'll upgrade it to an 8MI for
	$425. The  2  megabyte  Alegra uses 1MBitx1 DRAMS in sockets, so why 
	not. The resulting board can take up to 8 megabytes in an A2000.

For more information please call  us  at  (201)  563-0529  or  send mail to 
well!perry rather than post messages to the net.

Thanks,
