Title: Amiga 1200 memory upgrade
Post by: Radical on January 06, 2008, 03:27:34 PM: Im after some advice for upgrading my amiga memory. Everytime i start whdload and try running games i get not enough memory errors. I want to install an upgrade but not sure what i need, where it goes in the amiga or how to set the jumpers. Can anyone offer some advice please..

Well you'l need some card to put into there ;-)

Starts with pure memory-boards (mostly 4MB) and ends with a combined 68060/PPC/SCSI-cards carrying up to 256MB :-o

For running WHDLoad games a mid-class 68030 with atleast 8MB should do the trick.

* Tabajara 1.01 is a self-made A601 (lacking the RTC)
