Well the resourcefulness you're talking about already made it possible to have 8Mb of ChipRAM; in WinUAE that is...

Don't want to sound pessimistic in your book but I don't think we'll see it in Classic Amiga hardware. There shouldn't be a specific need for it either. Why do you want it?

Comparing ChipRAM to God or the supernatural seems to me (a bit) absurd. But maybe that's Dutch realism speaking...

There's a perfectly technical/scientific explanation why it can't be done on current classic hardware and why it does work on WinUAE.

So if you really really REALLY need the extra ChipRAM you got two options:

1. use WinUAE
2. make the ChipRAM expansion hardware you seem to insist is possible to make

@Motorrollin

It's like preaching to the converted; give it up. He/She won't listen.

To be honest this reminds me of those evangelists or Jehovas witnesses that try to convert you on the street. You talk to them but inspite of all the ratio and reason you tell them they keep saying you're wrong. It's frustrating...

That would have made this topic a lot shorter!

Let's quit the religious tone of this topic. Whether people believe in God/supernatural or not is their own business.

This is about technology and hence it is perfectly explainable; after it is all man made.

There have been people responing here that KNOW what they talk about. They program the machine and know its inner workings.

I for one am getting a bit tired of this bogus.

No-one said that it's impossible. It is theoretically possible to create an 8Mb ChipRAM Amiga. But that would require a lot a  work. I'm not going into details; you can read them in the topic. There's also something like economically sensible; the effort to create this would just not be worth it...
