 Just this past week, I finally got my Mega2 upgraded to 4megs and 
TOS 1.4.  My mega2 was bought in April of this year and according to
my dealer(who's now out of business *sigh*), was a part of the first
shipment with the kludgy blitter fix and the more IBM compatible internal
drive. My board had all the lines to the empty ram sockets intact. I just
want to say to everyone that there is hope for us Mega2'ers and lets just
check ours first before we get too scared.

 I also want to add thanks to Andy Cassino for the ls373 warning, Greg
Lindahl for pointing me to a person who could do the upgrade, KenB
for TOS 1.4 (there are so many little things that make all worth
it) and BobR for all those Dungeon Master hints...

ps. Why does it feel like defeating Lord Chaos was a happier achievement
than getting my diploma???
