Subject: upgrade to 512k

     I'm interested in upgrading my Mac to 512k but don't have $1000
to pay for it.  I've read that the newer 128 Macs are being shipped with
boards which fully support the 512k (but of course have the 64k chips).
I would like to do the upgrade myself and wonder if anyone knows:

a.  How can you tell if your board is one which is already setup for
    512k so all you have to do is replace the 64k chips with 256k chips

b.  If you have the older board, what do you have to do in order to upgrade
    to 512k (without paying $1000).

c.  Where in the Bay Area can you purchase a Torx #15 screwdriver which is
    long enough for the screws under the handle?  I bought a screwdriver and
    then discovered it wasn't long enough.

  Answers to a. and b. would go a long way to ensure that a lot of people
like myself could enjoy the benefits of the ram disk and other good things
having 512k afford.     David Gelphman
