The 64 -> 68 upgrade had memory bundled in the upgrade.  We purchased
the upgrade w/o the memory and the software tape was delayed.  Since the
upgrade shipped with only a name plate change we did this upgrade
without having to take the system down.

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.
