A friend gave me 512K of memory today (two 8x256-bit strips of SIMMS),
and has some more he'll give me, since he's upgrading to 1-meg chips. I'd
like to install them in my A500 (which has an A501, by the way), but I don't
know how I can do it without buying a 0K expansion board and populating it
myself. The only problem with the latter approach is that I'm planning to
upgrade to an A3000 in a few months, and I'd like not to sink any more
money into this machine ... but on the other hand, I'd sure like to have an
extra 2 megs (the total amount he's giving me) in the meantime.
I did RTFM, but they said nothing beyond "you can stick an A501 in
there, if you really want to," and I don't know how to interpret
schematics.
So, is there anything I can do? Anyplace I can put that memory of mine?
