The "Blitter Upgrade" for 520/1040 ST machines has actually been out for
quite some time now..
 
Instructions for upgrading a 520/1040ST to a blitter machine:
 
1) Carefully unplug your 520/1040ST
 
2) Hold it approximately 12 inches above any available trash receptacle

3) Let go
 
4) Go to your dealer and buy a Mega 2 ST or Mega 4 ST
 
5) Blitter upgrade is complete
