Dumb question on RAM expansion
« on: March 15, 2005, 12:47:50 AM »
Hi there. I'm sitting here looking at an RAS-512K ram expansion card.
There is something bothering me. It's just got the RAM, a clockchip, and some passive components. What's stopping it from being mirrored through the entire memory range? Is it Gary doing this?
A500 (salvo): 1Mb RAM (512k chip, 512k SlowFast)
1x880k Floppy Disk, 1xIBM 540Mb 3.5\\"HDD KS1.3, WB1.3
1084S monitor. AT Keyboard!
A500 (Whitey): 512k RAM, 1x880k Floppy Disk, KS1.2, WB1.3

So is Gary only good for 1mb?....
Let me see. Well, I know Agnus is lazy and only supports 512k of chip...
Just going to have a look at the schematics to see if that offers a hint.

Thanks for that though.

I was just asking because I know the cpu is good for 16mb, but I just wanted to doctor the ram expansion (it has a dead RAM) and put 1mb on it, but I'm not sure if its possible is all.
