(Rest deleted)

I have the original EZ Ram upgrade installed in my 520.
It's been there for almost 2 years now, and I have yet to have a problem
with it.  It's been VERY reliable.  Although they aren't the easiest
things to install (lining up the pins on the upgrade to the holes atop
the MMU was a nightmare), I would recommend them.

Mind you, I refer to the first upgrade board.  I don't have any
experience with the newer EZ-RAM II.  BUT if I ever decide to go to
2.5 or 4 megs, I'll stick with the EZ-RAM board.
