retro board upgrade, let me know.......

 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.
