If the docs aren't posted in the archives, I've got them.  The modification is  
fairly simple really.  I'm about the -last- person you'd let near your  
motherboard and yet, my installation went like a charm.  (Of course it took me  
a little longer than most people's estimate of 10 mins)

Frankly though, it really hasn't been very useful for me (I installed it 24  
hours ago)  Not a lot that I use works in overscan mode.  Laser C's editor  
doesn't work, some aspects of NeoDesk don't work (show file from desktop,  
screen blanker), GFA Basic doesn't work, Tempus II doesn't work, Quick ST V2.21  
doesn't work and the list just keeps on going.

On my SM124 or SM125, I can get up to 688X480.  It looks very nice.  On a  
MultiSync, your mileage should be better.

What are the details of the 4 Meg upgrade for the 1040 ST. I though there
was some size limitation due to some 'mapping' featurette in the
hardware.
