[comp.sys.amiga] A2000 w/Fat Agnus and RAM expansion???

BYRNE@muppet.dnet.ge.com (09/26/90)

A friend of mine has an A2000 HD with fat(ter?) Agnus and Bridge board.  He
would like to expand his memory from 1MB but has been told by 2 dealers that he
needs a special memory board.  Is this true?  Would someone please send me
information on this so I can forward it?  Thanks.

Yes, you need an 8 meg card (usually) ram card.

Commodore make one and Microbotics make the 8up card which I have myself

about 400 sterling for the card with 2meg fitted, RAM chips abaout 160 sterling
for each 2meg set (16 chips)

Hope this helps

Why couldn't he just use the 2 meg memory space on the 2091 hard drive
controller? The sockets are already there. Just pop in the chips.
