Actually, "upgrading" a 44 to a 48 was the exact same migration as upgrading a
40 (or 39, remember those? ;) to a 42 or upgrading a 64 to 68:  You installed
the disc cache software from an add-on subsys tape and swapped the name plate
on the front.  I kept the old 64 nameplate from one such "hardware upgrade" as
a momento of the occasion.
