Hehe! That's already in the works ;)
but i'd like to have one for my 500 as well, hence this post.. Is there any webshops that sell them or should I continue to search personal ads?

Peace!

Ok, cool, thnx!
Also.. How much Ram can u cram into a A500? Are there any slots on most accellerators or does it install elsewhere?

Can you upgrade the 500 by just switching the processor?

I checked eyetech and found acouple of links to some other stores, thats about it.. I think I have a couple of 68010 lying around, but i'll have to verify.. but as u said.. theres no big advantage..
I was thinking of something like the GVP line of turbo accessories or something like that.. But I guess I'll have to keep looking!
Thnx for the headsup!

Even if you get an accelerator, you'll still need a Mini Megi for 2Mb chip to do anything useful and they're rare too (... but I have one!).


Mini Megi 2Mb? This I didn't realise? Why do you need one, and is it like a 1.5 Meg upgrade for the trapdoorslot underneath?

But I have seen GVP 030 accellerators for the A500 quite often on eBay (like this one). But sometimes the prices are a little crazy.


Yeah! Im bidding on it soon :)

The chip ram expansion isn't needed, but it's highly recommended. All graphics the computer displays depends on the chip ram.

Ok. So the FastRam in the accellerator doesn't fill this purpose?
