Hmm, sounds fine but...
No pricing? Why?

I've got a memory upgrade from a German company called rhotron.
They made a computer called mc68000 in the early days of 68k with 8
slots for expansion.

When Atari came up with the ST, they made a backplane with the slots and
a little logic to interface it to the ST.
I am using this bus system and a 2 Meg DRam-Board for 1 1/2 year now;
I'm really happy having 1 Meg of RAM, 2 Meg RAMDisk (reset resident and
booteble) and still 7 slots left.

Pricing yet: BUS about 400 Deutsche Mark (1$ = 1.7 DM)
             2 Meg about 800 Deutsche Mark.
