Apparently the 3.1 rom I had installed has "moved" my trapdoor ram to Chip ram without any other hardware modification otherwise. I did not replace the AGNUS however.


That's not possible.

I think the 6a version motherboard came with the later 1mb Agnus, or was that only the 8a A500+?


The 6a had the 1MB Agnus, the 8a had the 2MB Agnus.

Well, that reply does not help. If you say it is not possible, WHY is it not possible? Possible or not, this is exactly what has happened on my end.


There is no way to move RAM from chip memory to fast memory without doing a modification to the motherboard. It can not be done in software.

It's still chip memory, even if the OS thinks it isn't.
