Skip, thanks for the advice, I remember the link from a previous post 
and have checked it out. However, I'm much of the same opinion as 
John in that $100 is probably the most anyone can justify for a 4MB 
to 8MB upgrade (I do have the board). I don't know about anyone else 
but I can't find it in my heart to justify over $50 per MB when all 
it really is is a set of chips and a mysterious diskette with an 
uncrackable code whose only purpose is seemingly to protect a now 
valueless intellectual property in a long since obsolete OS! 

Although in saying that I should be clear in that I'm sure your 
contact is offering the service as economically as he can.

It's just still too much compared to what I perceive as the actual 
value of the component parts in todays market!

Emax II already has the memory expansion board and the PALs are 
already installed. Mik at Sound Logic is as helpful as one can 
possibly get. I used his upgrades for my 3 mb keyboard and had to 
contact EMU for the proper PALS. Needless to say a lot of problems to 
solve but I ended up with a 7mb EmaxII keyboard and it was most 
certainly a challenge. He has the ram and disk that is needed. Follow 
this link. http://www.ramona.com/Soundlogic/SL01KUC.html
