Thank you.
Yes i was curious if there was a procedure for upgrading the ram, but replacing the ram is straight forward enough provided you have the skills and the ram chips available. I was more wondering if the ram had to be enabled with a resistor or a custom rom image.
I saw mention of the process in a Newton FAQ here, if you search for "Abe Lee" for a DIY upgrade procure:
Newton FAQ
Which leads you to a dead link, found on the internet archive that gives the procedure, looks like you just solder it straight in:

Thanks again, just need the ram chips now:
