That looks like a RAM expansion.

Hi yes it does ,but whats it off, and why the on off switch?

one chip does appear to be in backwards...

5th chip from the left bottom row? ;-)

Thats the sort of thing i would do and then blame someone else lol,but this time it is someone else and certainly not me ,no sir,Brian:lol::lol:

Looks like it belongs in a big box Amiga and not an A1200?

No i am sure i can squeeze it in the 1200 some where lol,but you could be right .
by the way its only as big as a post card 5x3 inches at the most and has A side printed and B-side printed on it so it looks like you could turn it over ,or make sure it is the right way up.

Looks like an A501 clone to me, a 512k trapdoor RAM expansion for an A500.
With one chip in wrong ;)
Edit: the switch disables the extra RAM for games that can't cope with it.

W.T.S. Electronics A500 Pro-RAM
Yours doesn't have the optional clock and battery.

Hey thats excellent thanks very much ,but not much good for my Amiga 1200,Brian.

Half a point to me for correctly guessing it didn't belong in the A1200 ;)
-
It is definately a trap door memory expansion board not an accelerator board.
The fact that it has a switch tells me that it is probably for the A500.
I would not plug it in with that chip reversed. Doing that could blow a chip, which may have already happened.
Can you send us a pic of the under side?
-
Can you try to take a new pic and get the writing on the chips in focus?

Looks like my Amiga 501 Ram Expansion with the shielding still on :-) Most likely you'll find a leaking battery inside...

hmmmmm....
Looks like some sort of pillow.

Heh, yes, A500 stuff. Nothing for your A600/A1200 dynamic duo I'm afraid :)
You could sell it for lunch money, or keep it for the time when you get the urge to get an A500 as well :D

LOL you too are quite right it is indeed A500 stuff Amiga 501 Ram Expansion with the shielding still on ,prizes alround ,i thought i had a accelerator for me 1200 lol now how much are the A500 going for ,bye for now and thanks to all for the entertainment,Brian.:lol::lol:

Perhaps 1MB the memory expansion with selector to 512KB/1MB, it remember my memory expansion of 512KB for my Amiga500, and if I remember it there was memory expansions with this feature choose between 512kb/1MB to run some games.
-
I actually have one of these boards with the on/off switch but mine looks different.
Hey, what games required that the switch be turned off? I have never used mine. It's always been on.

I have one too, this is great for an A500 cause it gives u 1MB chip. I don't remeber if this gives 1,5MB to A500+ I have to bring them down from my closet to test it. DPaint will work fine with such amount of RAM and you can add fast from the left port. If you have an A500 :-D

This is fun, more threads like this please ;-) Guess the hardware...
