A500 RAM in A1000?
« on: November 30, 2008, 11:18:54 PM »
Any one know if it's possible to shoe horn a Progressive Peripherals EXP 1000, 1 Mb RAM expansion card into an A1000?
I don't have the card yet, I am just trying to see options I have.
btw - the EXP 1000 is supposed to go into an A500 - plugs into the CPU socket.
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

BBoAH says it might be for the trapdoor slot, hopefully that's not true.


I still haven't received it, but it goes in the CPU socket. From the photo I have seen, it is rather large though.
I was hoping an older member may had tried this before...

Don't know what you mean by "older"? However, I had no luck with an M-tec 68020i going into an A1000 without the use of some sort of adapter board. I know there is a member here who has done it, perhaps their adaptor board will do the trick?


Didn't mean to offend anyone. I meant users who have been using Amigas since the beginning, 1985 or so - That's all.
I have the board now, and it is so large, I doubt it will fit in the A1000. If I do manage to shoe horn it in and get it working, I'll post progress here.
