Here's a good "How To" from AmiBay....

Keep in mind.... that if you perform the 2MB chip mod using a 2MB Agnus + MiniMega + Trap Door 512KB, that you will no longer have any Fast Ram. You'll need to get fast Ram from the Zorro connector...  i.e., A590 or such. Or possibly an additional internal Fast Ram capability using the Kipper2K IDE+Mem board. http://www.kipper2k.com/a500fastmem.html

Also keep in mind  that if you perform the 1MB mod with the internal kit by adding the chips to the mobo that you will disable the trap door connector.

Personally, I play original games from disk with no Fast Ram (see my sig) and they run OK so far. Some games will crash at some point without Fast Mem though. Luckily the guys over at EAB http://eab.abime.net/ are always modding ADF games to run in Chip Mem only! :laugh1:

I'm still on the hunt for a board to add internal Fast Ram after performing the 2MB Chip mod. Would love to have a Kipper board w/o IDE. :laugh1:

Maybe you're thinking about an A500+?  A500+ is an odd animal. I should get one for the learning experience.

Bust that puppy out and post up!
