I saw an ad in the latest Amazing Computing concerning the new Insider II ram
expansion unit for the Amiga 1000. I've had an Insider for years and was
wondering what the difference was between the old Insider and the New,
Improved, Insider II.
Does anyone have any info on it?

According to the makers, Michigan Software, the Insider II is a redesigned Insider I. It increases the added memory from 1 meg to 1.5 megs and uses the newer 256x4 chips. The unit is smaller than the old board which might mean that it could work in amigas other than the 1000, but you should check with them to be sure. It has a battery backed clock. Prices (from memory): $429 with 1.5 Meg, $349 0K -Brant I'm not affiliated with Michigan Software, other than being the happy owner of an Insider I for over 2 years. -- Brant Coghlan (grad student) (403) 487-3619 ...!alberta!brant Dept. of Comp.

I just finished putting the new INSIDER II into my A1000... I got it without any memory. It came with a clock chip and uses the 256x4 chips. I bought the 256x4x80ns chips... I don't know if 80ns is over kill - I am not into hardware just software. Those chips were 12.95 each (needed 12), I paid 198.00 for the INSIDER II. My Amiga is running fine - all 2megs (full up). And my Cltd scsi controller / Seagate ST296N are zipping right along. It's neat multitasking while online downloading software. Oh and the INSIDER II says "By DKB Software" 313-685-2383 Michigan USA!
