Hi Ilwrath,

Well, you need to know which version your ROM is on the A500+.


No he does not, because all Amiga 500+ computers come with the Kickstart 2.04 ROM, the full ECS Chipset, and one MB of Chip ram.  This is what the "+" means.

I believe they originally shipped with the 1.3 ROM, but it was fairly common for users or dealers to change them up to 2.04.


Not true!  We are talking about an Amiga 500 "PLUS" computer, not the normal Amiga 500 model.  It is fairly common for users and dealers to REMOVE the Kickstart 2.04 ROM and the Super Denise Chip before selling their Amiga 500+ computer.  They would then replace those ICs with a Kickstart 1.3 ROM and a regular, version 6 or 8 Denise chip.  These same jerks would then sell the Kickstart 2.04 ROM and the Super Denise chips separately on eBay.  The Amiga 500+ is a rare computer and was only sold in Europe.  I am looking for one in mint condition with its original new or like new box.   :-D
