I finally have my 512K 7300 upgraded to 2.5 meg.  I wanted to
share the information on the upgrade for others that might be
interested.

The board I installed is a 2 megabyte board by Piiceon, Inc. of
San Jose, CA.  I got the board from
	Digital Data Systems, Inc.
	775 Franklin Road, Suite 100
	Marietta, Georgia  30067
	(800) 346-8243

The board cost $495 which at current memory prices was less than
I could upgrade the motherboard for.  I was told the board was
burned in and warranteed for a year.

The board looks good - no obvious white wires.  All 256K-150ns DRAMS
are soldered in.  The instruction pages that came with it were reasonably
well written though the most important part - the table of expansion
slot configurations - was missing.  This wasn't a problem for me with no
other expansion boards since it worked fine in the first slot I tried (3).

Digital Data Systems delayed shipping my order twice, but both times they
were very professional and sent a letter offering to cancel the order.
The board has only been installed for a day, but passed all memory tests and
seems to be working well.
