According to the info I have here, you can still buy upgrades from Apple
to take either a Mac 512 or Mac 512 Enhanced up to a Mac Plus.

	M2516	Macintosh Plus Disk Drive Kit
	M5200/A	Macintosh Plus Logic Board Kit
	M2519	Macintosh Plus Keyboard (ifya really need it)

The disk drive kit upgrades the ROM and disk drive in a Mac 512.  The
logic board kit converts a Mac 512 Enhanced to a Mac Plus by switching the
mother board.  I'm not sure what both upgrades would cost at retail price,
but a student here can buy them together for $788.
