[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Amiga 500 Upgrades or Bug fixes????

may@ug.cs.dal.ca (Bear) (01/07/91)

Here is a question that I hope you tech. people can help me out with....

I have purchased a 2MB supra ram card to go into my AMIGA 500 Supra SCSI
interface. Upon installing and testing I come out with all kinds of errors
when I test the memory for bad chips. I of course had the board replaced
thinking it was a bad board. I got another one and the same problem occured
with this one, BUT on a friends NEWER Amiga 500 (my is about 2 years old) the
entire thing worked just fine.

So I removed the 2MB board and tried the interface with my HD again and all
works well again.

My questions is there a design difference in the Amiga 500's or any type of
bug fixes? I had Version 1.3 installed into my older 500 so I could auto
boot is there anything else I need?

any help would be greatly appreciated.........
