I carefully cleaned out the holes for the four chips, soldered
in 4 sockets and then inserted the 256k x 4  drams mailed to me
from IC Express, and volia! I had a 1040STfm! 

When I bought my 520, the dealer gave me an option of either
one internal double sided drive or a two drive system , both
single sided. Therefore a conclude that both single and double 
sided drives have been available in the 520STfm.
