With these great prices on SIMMs are there any commercially available upgrades for the original 1040STs that use SIMMs? At these prices, I could easily be convinced to upgrade from 1Meg! TeX would love it and I could finally run GNU Emacs! <and there was much rejoicing!> -chip * Work: 2912 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609 (919) 850-5011 * (...!mcnc!aurgate!roberson) || (roberson%aurgate@mcnc.org) || * (71500.2056@CompuServe.com) || (Chip.Roberson@f112.n151.z1.fidonet.org) #include <disclaimer.h>

[remainder deleted] Probably the best way to upgrade a Non-STE is with a device from: EVESHAM MICROS, Unit 9, St. Richards Road, Evesham, Worcs., WR11 6XJ, UK Tel: 01044-0386-765500 They sell a SIMM cage which can be inserted into any pre STE machine (so their advert claims) allowing SIMM upgrades to 4 Meg. It is also claimed to be solderless, and requires no electronics knowledge. The latest price I have for it is about $120 with no installed memory (from the Dec. 1990 issue of Atari ST User). Red/.
