W00t, just ordered my Indivision ECS today :)
« on: January 10, 2013, 05:35:19 PM »
Don't know about anyone else, but I was rabidly refreshing the AmigaKit website about every five minutes for the past week to see when they got them in, LOL.  Can't wait!  ;-)

Also for anyone who's interested, I got an email from Kipper2K that he still has some of those 8 meg memory expansion boards available.  It took a while to hear back from him and I've got another solution in the mail already, but these look pretty awesome for anyone who needs one, and I'll probably order some other stuff from him soon, too.

It's been about 10 years since I've had any spare $$ to spend on Amiga stuff, so I'm pretty happy right now!  :)

How much fun is it to install in an amiga 500? There have been horror stories I've heard with some poeple never getting it working quite right. Others have had an easy great experience with it. External scandoublers just work, but having it internal is just better...


Think that has to do with the motherboard version.  On some you have to bend a capacitor over, or replace it with a lower one?  I think it's just "pop right in" on my 6A board.  Will have to figure out where to run the cable to, probably underneath my floppy drive on the back.

@Lurch - can you describe any more about what fixes you had to have done for yours?  I don't have a 500+ but I do have some upgraded chips (1 Meg Chip Agnus, Super Denise, KS 3.1, 68010 processor).  Hopefully I won't have the same troubles, fingers crossed!
