I own two of such beasts.  The first came with my 3/50 and adds 8M. This
is working PERFECTLY.  The second was a gift from someone in AUS, and I
had to install it myself.  I purchased the 1M SIMM chips from someone over
the net (Longer story, not worth it) and went to install it myself.  The
first thing you do is pull the MMU and PCM(?) chips.  NOT EASY AT ALL!
I actually damaged my MMU chip.  Then you remove 4 chips, and place a
daughterboard that fits into those 6 sockets.  You replace the MMU/PCM(?)
and 2 of the 4 other chips.  You yank a jumpper , boot, reconfig a few memory 
registers and your done. (Normally).  

HOWEVER, after sending the board back to the manufacturer, then telling me
it was bad and that 1/2 the memory was bad replaced the board.  I replaced
the memory and STILL can't get it past the 8M.  I plan on sending it back.
(It will boot with the 12M, but then I get an NMI interrupt).
