Subject: B+ Upgrades

Hi,
The BBC+ shown on eBay below which went for a lot of money had 64k sideways
ram.

66

How do you upgrade a BBC+ to 64k of side ways ram? Do you use an external
board. If so which are compatible or do you put some Static ram
Into its ROM Sockets? Would this ram only be used for SWR ROMS or could you
shadow it like you could do with the Watford or ATPL board which use to be
available in Watford electronics?

Did the B+ have the same Basic II ROM as the BBC B? 

Was the 1770 DFS different than the Master version and did acorn produce an
ADFS for the machine? 

What items would you receive with one of these machines new. Do you get a
welcome disk or cassette? New User guide and TV cable?

Thanks
Chris
