                        Announcement for All MM/1 Owners

The much rumored 4 Meg memory hack is now a reality.  The Dirt Cheap Computer
Stuff Co. has tested it and it works just fine.  As a service to other MM/1
owners, we can provide those with the technical skills the details of the hack
and you can go for it yourself.  You'll need some real good soldering skills
and be able to get some simple parts.  Of course, if you do the hack yourself,
you're on your own.

For those not so technically inclined, or those not too sure about themselves,
DccS will perform the hack for you for a small fee.  If you are interested,
send in your I/O board along with $50 and we'll do the hack for you, test it,
and ship your board back within two weeks (unless we get swamped, then you'll
be notified of the delay).  If you would like us to get the SIMMs and install
them for you, please contact me at the number and address below.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the 4 Meg hack is a method to
allow your MM/1 to use 4 Meg SIMMs without the need to buy a new backplane.
This will give you a 9 Meg system, 1 Meg for video and 8 Meg of user RAM.
