Another option for the RAM expansion is the kipper2 design. Fits between the socket and the cpu.
You can also snag an CFIDE68K for the hard drive/CF card/microdrive expansion.
Of course if you add both of those, the cpu is going to be sticking up pretty high! Upper half of the RF shield is definitely going to be tossed!
Of course, most A500's don't know what the top of their cases feel like anyway as they're usually opened so the owner can tinker.
