Title: New 8MB memory board for A500 install....
Post by: giZmo350 on June 15, 2017, 11:59:05 PM

Bought this to add 8MB of fast ram to my A500…

So after trying to install the ram board I quickly found that it wouldn’t fit with an IndiECS installed. I pulled the IndiECS.

Installed the ram board - which just barely clears the keyboard.

So had to raise the IndiECS with some risers.

Here’s everything installed with the IndiECS

Everything fitting nicely….
