[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 500 1 Meg expansion info wanted

ansok@stsci.EDU (Gary) (01/11/90)

I have an Amiga 500 that I am planning to expand to 1 Meg of memory
soon (having a clock will be nice, too).

I seem to recall that there was some discussion here recently that
for a new 500, you could not simply order one by mail and plug it
into a slot yourself; there were apparently some jumpers or something
requiring it to be done by a dealer.

Can someone send me a summary indicating:

1)  How can you tell which A500's are the "new" ones?  (I purchased mine
	in July 89)

2)  What has to be done to expand an A500 to 1 Meg?

3)  Recommendations on brands for the expansion (should I just go with
	the Commodore board -- A501, I think -- or are there better ones?)

Please e-mail to me, and then I'll summarize all the summaries I get :-).
Thanks in advance!
