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
