A500 Newbie Suggestions & Help
« on: February 11, 2015, 03:36:57 PM »
I have an A500 with I believe a rev 5 board, Kickstart 1.2, 512k RAM expansion in the trap door and a Gotek - any suggestions to help me upgrade?  I see a lot of A500's out there with like 4MB of RAM (how?) and much more.. any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

Thanks for the help, guys.. yes, I have the Gotek attached and I love it.. primarily for games.. I had an A500 back in 1988-1991 so I am familiar with it, but I was looking to see if there was 'more' I could do with it...

Well, yes, primarily I am using it for gaming, but I would also like to maybe expand on it a little bit... learn a thing or two.. things that weren't available back in 1989... :laughing:
