Interesting RAM mod

Possibly 2MB chip RAM hack? 3rd picture is the best shot.

Looks like a C= A501, or some other knockoff, missing a few chips.  If anything, I'd say less than 512K.  IMHO anyone who posts such poor quality photos on ebay is hiding something.  ;)

From reading the description, it looks like someone's chucked some knackered Amiga bits away and this chap has fished them out the bin.

Not the A501 but the socket mod done to the A500, then the two wires running to the expansion slot.

Not a standard on any board I've had for the A500.

Not to mention the tape covering where the expansion connects.
