The Supra 4x4 SCSI interface accepts optional RAM boards that mount inside it.
I have been told that they no longer make those, but some may still be
available.  In my 1000 i have the Insider 1MEG expansion card, and the Supra
4x4 hanging off the side (i don't have any of the Supra 4x4 boards, though).
This combination seems to work very well.  They were pretty cheap too, about
$125 for the Supra from a local dealer, but i bought the insider back when
memory was much cheaper.

One question: Can anyone tell me why certain objects in Mindwalker (the orange
antibodies in the second part) and the public domain MissileDefense (the
satellites that fly by horizontally) smear along the whole height of the
screen?  I thought maybe they didn't like the RAM expansion, but running
NoFastMem before running the games didn't help (in fact, rebooting with
NoFastMem on the first line of the startup-sequence didn't help).  I don't run
FastMemFirst.  This is especially annoying in MindWalker, it actually hurts
your game.
