[comp.sys.mac] More memory for Mac+...?

Hello. I've been wondering how to get a little extra memory for my
Macintosh Plus (needed in these days of Hypercard and Multifinder).

I was wondering if the normal brute-force method could be used;
  Just solder 1M memory chips on top of the existing one (piggyback)
  and attach CS (chip-select) and whatever else is needed from the
  adressbus to select the appropiate chip. I haven't really checked
  out the memorychips but maybe an inverter is needed for some signals.

  If I'm correctly informed there are 22 bit defining the adress on
  a MC68000, making it possible to have 4M of memory.

*If* this is possibly, would programs take advantage of it?

Well, maybe this is one of the most stupid questions asked to USENET
since it all began and if so - please forgive my ignorance...
