Help identifying what type of Amiga I have?

[Linchpin]

Does it say A500 Plus on the top right or just a C= Commodore logo?

[Linchpin]

Also check the sticker on the bottom :-)

AFAIK the A500+ is always labeled Plus, unless someone has changed the case / motherboard over.

Isnt the a500+ also supplied always with 2.04 roms?

Unless they have been changed...

It sounds like you have an Amiga 500, with 512K Ram expansion somewhere.

Its an Amiga 500. When you have NO ram expansion in the trapdoor, its reporting as 512K. And with the 512K Expansion ON you get 1mb. Amiga 500 :-)

Either that, or someone put 1.3 into his A500+

But that would not make the miggy report only 512k total ram with the Expansion board in and switched off...

Dont beleve everything you read on the net :-)

Seems to be the one, pity there is no actual Model # stamped on the amiga, that you can link up with the site. Basically, i would just use the Expansion to get the max amount of memory i could and then have some fun :-)

I've heard rumors that Commodore was actually putting A500+ motherboards in A500 cases when the supplies of regular A500 mobos were low. The result of this was an A500 with 1MB chip ram on-board and KS1.3.

But what happens then with Hardware Incompatability? People would then think they had an Amiga 500, and get an 512k Expansion card for it, and it wouldnt work (if it was designed for an A500+)

Do you have a link to this info?

Cheers
