[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] 1 Meg chip

Howdi,
 I have a A500 with a rev. 6a motherboard and the fatter Angus chip already
in it (came with it.) and I was wondering how to make the 501 card ram
be chip readable (it's on the same bus, it isn't really any faster, so
why not?) I opened her up the other day and saw those silly solder
jumper things all over the board, and I think I can deal those, but
I lost my news feed when this kind of stuff was the topic of conversation
so I don't know how to do it.
   Please mail to (bitnet):    bhgs@utorgpu    and put 'Jon' in the subject,
    or post if you think there is sufficient interest.
                            Thanks alot,   Jon.

Howdy;
   I have a question about the memory in my 500.  I posted this question
about a week ago, and no one answered; I think the message may have only
gotten to Canadian machines for some reason, so I am reposting, but if
you have seen this before and still don't know the answer then I guess
you don't have to answer.  In any case the question is: I have a 500 with
a rev. 6a motherboard and the A501 memory card installed, and it came with
the new Angus chip; I would like to make the A501 memory chip readable,
since it is on the same bus anyway.  If any one can send which jumpers to
jump and thingies to cut, I would greatly appreciate it.
