 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!

Hey all....I can retain the data from a spent Emaxll upgrade discs in a snap, 
I have done this many times with diag discs that were made to be used only 
once or twice. The trick is finding one. 

I agree on a street price that would be under $100.00, the original board is 
not vary complex and can be remanufactured for a vary reasonable price. I 
would go as far as the say street prices between $75 and $90 for 4 MB to 8MB. 
My reasoning for remanufacturing the board is that yes I fell I could make a 
small profit, but In my travels I personally haven't ever played or even seen 
any Emaxll that was more than 2MB, I believe that a vary large percentage of 
the units out there are unexpanded.  If Rob decides he will reman the memory 
card I will hold off, if not then we will begin and Rob 1 am one of 40.
