Would it be possible to expand the Amiga on board memory to 1 Meg by replacing the 256K memory chips with 1 Meg chips?

Not until someone comes out with 1 Meg chips organized as 256K x 4 (The Amiga's chips are 64Kx4). -- Mike Farren uucp: {your favorite backbone site}!hplabs!well!farren Fido: Sci-Fido, Fidonode 125/84, (415)655-0667

Believe me, I would be overjoyed to be wrong about this! While I am on the subject of memory, I just remembered... (get it? huh?). We recently had the first meeting of the Atlanta Area Amiga User's Group - that is NOT an official title mind you. One of the people who came to the meeting is a representative of The Micro Forge, a hardware and software development firm.
