ECS Upgade for A500

You should take it out, de-solder the places where it's held together, take the case off and check out the battery. I bought two of these on eBay a few months ago, one battery looked & checked good, the other the battery was corroded. The funny thing was, the board for the corroded one, overall looked better (cleaner) than the one with the 'good' battery. I removed the battery, cleaned & scrubbed them both with electronics cleaner (Radio Shack #64-4345), put a new battery in the one and they both work fine.

Is there a command (say on a workbench disk or something) that I can type in to get details that would say definately what this is?

Well, if you're running WB 2.04, put your Install disk in & run ShowConfig. It will show whether or not you have ECS chips, what your memory nodes are, CPU, etc. Otherwise, go to Aminet and d/l Sysinfo.lha.

Or open a shell window and type 'avail', that will at least show how much of what type of memory you have.
