I saw some ads some time ago for a device which can put a 2 Meg Agnus (ala A3000) into an Amiga 2000. Has anyone had any experience with this? It its operation completely transparent or does it need to be configured during startup-sequence? Also, what prevents its use in an A500? Thanks -- | Robert E.

It's called the "MEGACHIP 2000" and it is sold by the Grapevine Group. It's actually small board with the new Agnus and other stuff required to give you 2 megs chip ram. It plugs into the Agnus socket on the motherboard. It does auto-configure so nothing special is required after completing the installation. I've had no problems with it so far. I have no idea why it won't work on the 500. Supposedly, this thing will work with all cards except the Midget Racer.

My brother installed on in his machine while I was up visiting at Christmas,
and has been running with it ever since. The memory is totally Aut-Config
(IE: It has 1M of ram on the Board itself, and fits into your old Agnus socket).
I've not heard of a program that had a problem with it.

I'm not really sure - We tried this, and it did not work. I unfortunately was
not visiting my brother long enough to find out, and I have not yet gotten one
to play with at work.
If one needs the Video Memory, I would highly reccomend it. Unfortunately I
don't remember the name of the company that made it at the moment (But if I
get inquiries, I'll ask my Bro..)
