I am at the point of upgrading my Mac 512 w/ external 400K drive
(yes, I'm still in the Dark Ages!) and am seeking recommendations.

My current grocery list looks like this:
	128K ROM
	internal 800K drive
	SCSI port
	1 or 2 MB memory
	big screen (i.e. more pixels, not just larger)

I know that I can/should get the ROM/disk upgrade from Apple
(which would make my system a "512KE").  For the SCSI and
memory, I would probably go with Dove, since I've read good
things about them here (thanks Chuq!).  That leaves me with
the "big screen".  I have dire misgivings about compatibility
between a clip-on memory upgrade (Dove) and any big screen for
the 512KE which would probably be a clip-on also.

Do any of the big screen makers support Dove's or anyone else's
memory/SCSI upgrades?  Are there other cofigurations that would
make this combination possible (e.g. upgrading to a Plus, or
getting a 68020 accelerator)?  I do NOT need the 68020 for its
performance or sex appeal, so I would choose that route only if
it were the lowest-cost way to "get from here to there".

Anyway, I welcome all suggestions, dis-recommendations, etc.
(even flames).  Post only if your comments are of interest to
everyone.  I will summarize all email I receive.
