3rd party Hardware Upgrades

Does anyone know of a 3rd party hardware upgrade to increase the memory on the Edge? There is a Hong Kong site offering a memory increase for other Visor models at a pretty good price, but their site is mostly in Chinese.

I haven't done it yet, but am planning on it soon.

Thank you. I did not know about this one. I think the one from Hong Kong was a user install.

I checked out both pages... the palmpilotupgrade.com one seems more organized. But I'm wondering if anybody has ever done this.... and I'm wondering how much hassle it would be to do it yourself. What's involved other that the obvious chip replacement?

If you have the right tools and a steady hand, not hard. My guy just soldered the new chip on top of the old chip, with the exception of a few address pins that he used a little jumper wire to connect to the unused address pins on the dragonball. Those pins are so SMALL though. I am a EE and I wouldn't do it by hand myself probably.
