By the time I bought an ST it was possible to expand the memory just by
plugging in more. The limitation IIRC was only four slots all of which
had to have the same size sim. Again IIRC I expanded my ST to 1Mb as I
could not afford to replace the existing memory.
Of course having the OS in ROM helped in getting usable memory compared
to the PC and the memory map was a lot cleaner.
