[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] yet another Amiga 500 RAM question

davmou@ocf.berkeley.edu (09/21/90)

I have a SupraDrive SCSI Interface hooked up to my Amiga 500 through the
expansion bus, and it's hooked up to an external HD not made by Supra.  Now
I would like to add some kind of RAM expansion either within the Supra's
internal RAM port, or the pass-through bus port.  The question is that I 
heard some generic RAM devices (ie. Minimegs) aren't fully compatable with
the Supra SCSI.  Is that true?  I can settle with 2 megs but I would like 
a blank board that'll expand to 4 or 8 megs.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in
advance.

	I don't know about compatibility, but I do know Supra is offering
an upgrade path from their older 500 interfaces to the new 500XP that lets
you expand to a full eight megs inside the interface. Perhaps that would
be a good solution...
