Title: FS: Amiga 2000 Ram board
Post by: spaceman88 on November 20, 2014, 10:54:22 PM

I have a RAM board (A2058) on Ebay .....http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Amiga-2000-RAM-expansion-A2058-8-MB-Max-/381056215744?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58b8b86ac0  

Does anyone know if it will work in an A3000 or A4000?
Thanks

Yes. But so slow that it's pretty meaningless. I once tried to fill up my A4000 with 128MB CSPPC RAM, 16 Mobo RAM + 4 MB ZII Ram. When just ZII Ram was available it really crawled!

Shouldn't it use the ZII ram last?  Only after all the other memory is filled up?  Either way, slooooow.  :lol:

Of course last, and then it was easy to see when ZII came into use - just looking how the drawers did open in slo-mo (compared to normal 060-speed).

I was afraid it might be slow on a 4000, at least it doesn't have some kind of an address conflict :-).
