I am toying with the idea of upgrading my 520ST.
If I am going to go to the trouble of installing a
Ram upgrade however, I don't just want to go to a meg.
Are there any kits out there that will let me upgrade
a 520 ST to 2 meg ? Also if I could upgrade to this kind
of memory capacity, is there anything available software
wise that will allow me to do multitasking or at least
load several programs at once and toggle between them for
execution ?
(i.e. for music applications: load up a sequencer
a patch editor
and a word processor
then if I am running a sequence, have the ability to stop
a sequence, toggle over to the patch editor, tweak a patch from
the patch editor prog, maybe make a note in a session log in my
word processer then toggle back to the sequencer and continue
execution without having to load and reload all of these programs.)
Thanx for your help,

I can't remember the name of the other one, but they're in Texas, and they advertise in Antic. I've had no personal experience with either company, however. --alex @ Atari BIX: alexl.

As soon as it's finished, I'll post to the net. You'll be able to use it with any GEM-based MIDI sequencer which doesn't use up all of the DA slots. -Rich p.s. don't hold your breath on this (it'll take a while to finish). -- //////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /// Richard E.

About a year ago, someone has posted an article on how to upgrade 520ST to
1 meg. Now that I have got my 520 and in need to upgrade it, I am looking
for that article. Could someone who has that article repost to this group,
please? Or can anyone tell me where I can get the article?
Is there any alternative to upgrade?
Thank you.

I have been led to believe that the MMU of the ST can access up to 4Mb of memory, and would like to upgrade my 520STFM to this level, but every time I ask how, I am met with blank looks. If anybody out there has actually done this, I would be very grateful if you could pass any advice on how to do it.

The bare board with connector and sockets are about $130 US. A fully populated 4Meg board is in the order of $1300 US. I don't know what they would cost in England. Ads for these boards are in all the ST magazines here in the US. Pick up a copy of what is available in England and look through the ads. Kit Kimes AT&T--Information Systems Labs ...ihnp4!ihlpe!kimes
