That reminds me when I did similar "hack" on my Atari 520ST to expand the memory from 512KB to 1Meg... I soldered 16 PDIP memory chips on top of the old ones, bent couple pins up to create two new address lines, and soldered those address lines to the memory controller pins using new wires... I think I had to cut couple tracks on the motherboard as well. It was very exciting to turn on the machine first time to see if it still works... and it did!!!

Oh well... that was about 20 years ago...
