I've been pleased with FASTMICRO (800-441-3278).  I've ordered from them
twice.  They were honest about when an item was backordered.  In both
cases I received the item *sooner* than when they promised.  I don't
know if they have 1-day shipping.  Their Nov88 ad lists the AST 6-Pack+
with 64K for $119.
