Hello all, Dear Amiga experts, I have an Amiga 500 (rev.6) and Fat Agnus with 1MB (512 chip, 512 fast) on board (without expansion card). My expansion socket is empty and I want to upgrade its memory to 1.5MB (512 chip, 1024 fast). Is it possible with 512K expansion card ? If it's possible, would you like to help me about jumper position and other hints. What must I do ?

The 512K of fast RAM that got added to the motherboard of the A500 takes the place of the A501. There are some third party companies that make multi-meg expansion boards that fit in the expansion slot, but all of them require some sort of additional connections to the motherboard to do this. >= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = >= Cem Turgay = Everything is possible but I can't do it yet = >= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = /// = >= OEYO8729 @ TREARN : student of Computer Programming = /// = >= : Ege University Computer Center = \\\ /// = >= PROHVK32 @ TREARN : programmer at DAPRO Computer Co.= \XX/ = >= AMIGA @ HOME : B-) = Amiga 500 = >= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Adam Keith Levin - Commodore Applications and Technical Support BIX: aklevin Mail: 1200 Wilson Drive / West Chester, PA 19380 USA Phone: (215) 431-9180 UUCP: ...{rutgers|uunet}!cbmvax!adam USENET: adam@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com

Too bad. Guess I won't be buying another A500 after all, if I can't have 1.5 megs without voiding my warranty. -- // UUCP: ...!{tektronix|ogicse}!sequent!dvp _______ =====// =========================================================| # | \\ // Internet: dvp@sequent.com | | ==\ /============================================================| | Dan Vander Ploeg -------
