I just recieved my upgraded 512K Mac back from Mass Tech
they did a fine job, they even put in sockets for the 256K DRAMs!,
It took exactly one week from the time that I entrusted
my Mac to the post office to get accross country and get upgraded until the
time I got my Mac back. Total cost $499 + 3.22 postage.
I highly recommend this outfit. If you have a cheap source of 256K
DRAMs they will upgrade your Mac for only $150. They pay postage one way
they also give you a tool to take your Mac apart (about a 10 minute operation)
and a disk with a public domain RAM disk.

Now that I finally have my 512K Mac I want to use the extra memory as
a RAM disk for the Manx C compiler.
My problem I transfered over the editor and the C compiler to the RAM
disk and then brought up the Manx shell. However, when I inserted the Manx
Key disk the system hung. Has anybody tried using the Manx compiler with a RAM
disk? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could use a RAM disk and
this compiler?
Thanks in advance

[Aren't you hungry...?] One worry I have had about cheap upgrades is whether or not the Apple software will recognize the memory's existence. I have heard there are ROM changes involved... Is this true? Jon Shapiro

Creative Computing announced last May that a 512K upgrade for the
Mac would only be possible if Mitsubishi's labs could perfect the
"Tiny 256"K (sic) chip. Unfortunately, neither Apple, nor Mitsubishi,
nor Creative Computing has posted further information.
For more (somewhat obsolete) information, see July 1984 Vol.10 #7

Ballyhoo.
