I'm looking for a reliable method to expand the memory
of my 1040 ST to 2.5 megs.  I would appreciate
recommendations of expansion methods that are available
(especially from first hand experience) which are
reliable and will not get in the way of future (reasonable)
modifications and additions (such as adding an 68000
accelerator board or PC-Ditto II).  I would also
appreciate any warnings of methods to avoid and why.
I'm not a hardware expert at all, but I would be willing
to pay a good repairperson to do it if the expansion
involved much soldering.

I'm also interested in hearing about pricing, of course,
although reliability is the most important consideration.

Since this information would probably be useful to other
ST users here, it would probably be best to post to the net
rather than sending me mail.

Thanks for any suggestions, advice, horror stories, etc.
