Ken... can you expand on this, and explain to everyone here on the Net just
what those manufacturing constraints were... and why it is that only a
very few Mega ST2s can't be upgraded...?
 
The information I've read seems to indicate that it definately WAS an effort
on Atari's part to stop the easy upgrading of Megas.  Here's your chance to
put that rumor to rest...
