Dear network;
I want to add more memory to my 500. What I have right now is
a 500 with a 501 pack and the 1meg chip memory hack up and running.
I also already have C Ltd/Kronos SCSI controller, so buying a hard
disk controller that takes RAM is kind of wastefull. What I was
thinking was buying an adRAM 540 board, and getting rid of the
501 pack. Here comes the questions. If I do add the adRAM 540,
will I still be able to have 1meg chip ram? I realise there
may be some jumpers to jump and whatnot but will the adRAM
support that.
Any other suggestions on how to do it are welcome.

We have installed several now with only one hitch (bad clock). 1 Meg chip is supported if you have the super agnus (Which is a good idea because the rest of the 'fast' mem is the TRUE fast ram). You already have the 1 meg hack done so its just a matter of installing the Adram as per instructions and away it goes --------------------------------------- | patrick_meloy@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | | 'The Outbound' BBS Vancouver BC | ---------------------------------------

I realise there Call ICD at 1800-373-7700 The baseboard, another 4+2 meg board, does allow the 1 meg chip ram option. All you have to do is move a jumper or two, and place the chips in a particular bank on the baseboard (0 - closest to the front of the Amiga). >may be some jumpers to jump and whatnot but will the adRAM >support that. > Any other suggestions on how to do it are welcome. > > >:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: >: Jon Spencer. bhgs@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca : >:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?
