[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Impact A500 RAM expansion

Hi!
    I've got 2 1meg x 8 simms ram chips.  I planned to use them in my
    Impact A500 GVP HardDrive.	To reach my goal I must solve two puzzles.
    Where should I put the chips and how shoul I place the jumpers???
 
    Here's how things look like:
 
 
	[] []  ---------------
	[] []  |	     |
	[] []  |	     |
	[] []  |  Drive &    |
	       |  Controller |
	[] []  |	     |
	[] []  |	     |
	[] []  |	     |	oo
	[] []  |	     |	oo <--- 4 pins for jumpers (2)
	       ---------------
	  ^
	  |------- 4 slots for RAM chips
 
    I've tried many combinations but didn't got any results...  Beside
    setting the jumpers, do I have anything else to do???
 
    I hope somebody else  own an Impact A500 and can send me these
    inforations.
 
    Thanx!
