You would need to get in touch with the creator (Dean Brown?) of Apollo series and see if he still has the source code for the MACH chip, if not perhaps someone can develop their own?

I guess PG has the original MACH chip binary so that he can make more?

It really depends how many address lines go to the MACH chip.

It might be worth asking the developer if they were capable of doing a new version with increased RAM capability?

I doubt that they are.

The PLD's you are buying are probably NOS (New old stock) and were actually programmed many years ago (but I may be wrong.)

How much would you be prepared to pay?

Would you consider POSTING your valuable A1260 away to be upgraded? (This may be required if enough Address lines do not go between the SIMM socket, MACH chip and CPU)
