Title: New Amiga A600 Memory Expansion
Post by: amigakit on July 20, 2006, 12:51:30 AM

Amiga A600 memory expansions have recently been difficult to source and frequently they have been overpriced in the second hand market.

With this problem in mind, we approached Individual Computers to design and build a new A600 memory expansion...

The result is A602 Memory Expansion (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=533).  It is a small design with Real Time Clock and A1200 style clockport.

The unit is now in stock and available for immediate despatch worldwide.

Thanks for the info amigakit. It's your deciation to the Amiga users, and your help around the messageboards that bring me back as a customer.

I like the addition of a 1200-style compatible clockport.  :cheers:

@Thread

I just got one of these from Amigakit - they are really neat!
Mine came in a professional box with good instructions.

I'm saving up for a subway for my new clockport!

Roll on more expansions!

It would be uber-cool if :bow:Individual Computers:bow: could get together with :bow:Dennis:bow: and produce the first 'proper' Amiga in a decade and a half!
The idea is so preposterous and insane it makes warped sense!

Would you mind posting a few detailed pics of the board and packaging?

I'm curious to see what does it look like, and the pics that have been posted so far aren't very good. :-)

It would be wise to make a kit with the expansion Plus the accelerator and a 3.1 ROM. I would buy one!

Waiting for the Accelerator!
