Memory chips cost more

Since last year, the price of RAM memory chips has nearly tripled, causing dramatic price increases of memory upgrades for 520 ST machines. E. Arthur Brown, a popular mail-order supplier of ST software and hardware add-ons, has increased the price of their popular ST Solderless RAM upgrade to $249.95 with one megabyte of RAM chips installed.

The Brown memory upgrade board has been redesigned to incorporate two fool-proof connection points. The user removes the MMU chip (one of the square VLSI custom chips) from a 520 ST mother board and plugs an adaptor board into the original MMU socket. The video-shifter chip is also removed, and a plug fits snugly into the shifter socket. The chips are then reinserted, and your 520 ST has more than one megabyte of memory.
