Perhaps its an Amiga 500 with the 1 meg chip ram hack?

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. :-)

Do a google search in groups for more info on this.


Why on earth whould they do this?

1. When the A500+ was launched, the A500 was already cancelled, atleast to my knowledge
2. If point 1 ( above ) is incorrect, then why would they take 500+ mb´s and put in 500 cases? Why not just build 500+´s instead?
