I didn't lose anything. I guess there was some sort of bad connection. I'm looking for information (experience) on a 1Meg upgrade but I don't want to do any soldering. I have found 3 advertised. They are: 1. Tech-Specialties -- $169 (previously mentioned on the net) 2. Aerco--easieST RAM board -- $189 3. EZ-RAM -- (new version) -- $199 I assume these plug into the MMU socket. #1 & #2 indicate that they can be modified to go to 2.5 or even 4meg (using 1Mbit chips). I don't know about #3. 1 & 2 also have 1 year warranties. I think 3 has a 6 mo. warranty but (again) I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with any of these boards? Any info appreciated.
