This is the output of mfree after completeing the 4 Meg Memory Hack on an MM/1.
Notice the 8 Meg of free RAM! You too can have this.

There are two ways to get the hack.  Ask me and I'll send you the details so
you can do it yourself.  However, be cautioned that this is not a pretty hack,
nor is it easy to do.  You'll need to have a good amount of experience in
soldering, cutting traces, pulling pins up on already soldered in chips,
piggybacking chips, and running tiny wires around on the board.  If you have
never done something like this, I wouldn't attempt it yourself.  You can do
permanent and fatal damage to the I/O board.

The other method is to let me do it for you.  For a $50 charge, I'll perform
the hack, test it, and make a new init module for you.  I'll also guarantee my
work for a year (the hack only).  All you need to do is send me your I/O board.
If you want me to include the 4 Meg SIMMs, let me know.  I haven't priced them
lately, but I'm sure I can get some at a reasonable price for you.  I should be
able to do the hack and get your board back within 2 weeks.

This would make a great Christman present to yourself.  If anyone is
interested, let me know via email.
