It's difficult to upgrade the RAM on a lot of early Atari ST machines. The upgrades that were commercially available back in the heyday of this machine were all pretty flaky could cause damage to your machine.

In this video, I'll show off an upgrade created by Anders Granlund that while hard to install, promises to be super reliable and cause no damage to your machine. You can also make it yourself!
