I think they'll start selling RAM when they start selling machines that
they _MUST_ support properly, namely business machines (and I don't mean PC
clones, I mean ones you and I can't afford).  Face it, atari is giving
shitty after sales support because they know most of the people who
bought an ST can't afford to get another system.  Besides, there is a
larger profit margin in sales. How many imes have you had your machine
die.

Besides, would you, as a computer company, sell RAM if you knew others would
be selling possibly better products for less.

And on the subject of RAM, what's the best 4meg upgrade for a 1040st?
And does someone know how to modify the ST so it has an exposed
bus like the Megas?
