Upgrading to 2mb chip

[AmigaPixel]

Another thing that occurred to me is that I may not be able to upgrade the chip ram since the Derringer 030 covers the Fat Agnes chip. Again does any one have this combination?

That sounds like good plan. I would not trust my solder skills. I re soldered the RCA jack on my 1080 monitor before it died but that was about it. I don't have any idea for A500 controller either. At this point I am getting re-acquainted with the Amiga classic including the OS and tools, and classic expansion hardware/software. Not to mention all the new stuff that has come out in the last few years.

I have an Expansion Systems Data Flyer SCSI/IDE combination controller in my A2000. I wonder if they made one for the A500 in a side car like the one that GVP made. I noticed you have a Trump card in your A500+, I had a Trumpcard SCSI in my A2000 when I bought from the original owner back in 1992. I had upgraded the rom for it, but I think sold it in the mid 90's. I still have the original Trumpcard rom sitting in a box. Wasn't that made by IVS?

It looks like Expansion Systems did make a IDE/SCSI controller for the A500.

It appears to be the same controller inside a  side car. Mine has the molex plug like in the 1st photo. It has only 3 pins with the 4th missing. I guessing this could be needed when used with an A500 for power to the controller but I don't know. I have to find find my manual.

I never actually was able to get the IDE part of the controller to work but then again I only tried once or twice back in the 90's. I figured the SCSI was working just fine so I didn't need IDE at that time. I plan on trying again once I get the A2000 up and running.

the trumphcard works quite nice. but i would like to get my hands on a new controller. prefably one mounted on the inside of the A500. so i could make use of the action replay..

Right, do they make SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 for the A500? I have not looked especially since I no longer have an A500. I wished I had not sold my A1200/ Blizzard 060/SCSI-2 7 years ago What was I thinking!
