[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A500 chip ram expansion on rev6a motherboard

reher@ucunix.san.uc.edu (Jay R. Reher) (03/08/91)

	I was lucky enough to get a Amiga500 with an 8372a Angus as factory.
I wish to increase my CHIP ram to 1 meg.  I have read the notes on how to
change the traces from ANGUS to 68000, but upon inspection of my motherboard,
I noticed a interesting feature.  That is my 512k chip ram is 256k x 4 dram,
with spaces between the 4 chips for 4 more chips of the same type. That is
the holes and traces exist for 4 more 256k x 4 drams.

	My question is this, Can I just add the chips and associated capac-
itors, or do I have to change the ANGUS to 68000 trace from 52 to 47 still ?
Also since I got the standard intro to amiga book, my schematic is out of date,
What is the proper rate (in volts and farads) of the capacitors ? By the way
my motherboard is a rev6a.

				Many thanx in advance,
