    Terry Steeper upgraded my ZipGS 8/16 to a 12/64 for a total of about
$150 (~$120 US) for all the parts, labour and shipping.  Seven of us in
the Toronto/London area got together and placed a batch order of 65816's
with Terry.  He then either mailed out the upgrade kits, or people
mailed in their Zips/Transwarps for the upgrade.

    As I understand it, this was a one-shot deal, but if he gets enough
upgrade requests, he might put in another order with WDC.  I doubt he
was making any money on this venture (none of the prices on the invoice
look like they've been marked up), except for the $10 in labour.

    I'll ask him about this today or tomorrow and post back to the net.
