A500 chip ram upgrade?
« on: July 16, 2016, 05:41:22 PM »
I saw this listed on fleabay recently.  I have the proper revision motherboard the seller states is required (A500 Rev 6a), and am considering purchasing the kit to upgrade the computer to 1meg chip ram (well, I would send it to someone like Acill to do it, if he feels up to it).  Is there any reason to NOT do this?

It's no different from putting a RAM card in the trapdoor slot. Why not just do that? Should be cheaper, plus no risk of breaking anything on the motherboard.

Ah, my bad.  I thought that the 512K trap door type of RAM expansion was fast mem, not chip mem.
