Amiga 1000 help needed

[motrucker]

The admem program isn't going to help. the 512K you see, is all there is, IF your A1000 has the ram card added to the front panel.
You will have to add more RAM chips to add anything. There were several boards that would add RAM internally, but they are almost impossible to find these days. It would be a bit more than just soldering chips in - you have to make a Printed circuit board. This really isn't out of the question, IF you have the artwork for one. Radio Shack used to sell PCB kits!
The Starboard RAM expansion (those horrible external boxes) actually work quite well. I use one on my old A1000 for RAM and SCSI.
Good luck....

the 1000 has 256k of ram called the wom (write once memory) this is what the kickstart disk is loaded into. there are programs that allow you to use the wom for other stuff but im not sure how flexible they are

I am aware of this, I own and use an A1000. I have never been able to access this memory for system use though (other than the kickstart).
I would LOVE to find one of the internal RAM boards for the A1000 too!
