Well, I'm not pete, but the process is quite simple:
Take out your board, and look at the RAMs - near the left
Chip you'll notice markings and drilled plated thru holes
which exactly resembles the 6116 - the left 2114 is located
halfways in that area - unsolder the 2114s and solder in
the 6116 - although I recomend soldering a socket, so you
may play around with other 6116 compatible modules, like
batery buffered RAMs or the RAM/clock combination from Dallas.
IMHO a real good add on if you intend to keep a minimal system.
