I am wanting to add some extra memory to my A500. I already have
1Meg internally, therefore the next logical step is to add via the
external expansion slot. I would like to build my own auto-config
memory board such that the new memory would be recognized by the
software upon booting.
After checking my local resources, I have found nothing that indicates
the technical details of how an auto-config board works. Some publications
give general details on how the memory map is set up, and what the
system does to accomadate the boards, but what I really need is some
details of what control logic must be performed to allow a board to auto
configure.
Does anyone know where I could find a technical specification for
the auto-configure standard? Do I need to order it from commodore?
Thanks.
