Shreve Systems sells the upgrade kits; they advertise in Computer
Shopper, inCider, and probably some other places as well.  When I
bought mine, the cost was $150, plus a $100 core charge that was
refunded when I sent my IIe motherboard to them.  One rumor that I've
heard, though, is that they've quit accepting IIe motherboards for
core refunds--this would make your upgrade cost $250.  I don't know if
this is true or not...their ad in the April issue of Computer Shopper
still lists the upgrade for $149, so I suspect that the rumor is
false.
