Yes, you are right Abbub.

Trick is, you want as much 32-bit RAM as possible. That 2630 card only takes 4MB though, unless you add a DKB 2632 card to it. Good luck finding one of those though. lol


If you're wanting to go online and surf, only 4 more megs (especially the 16-bit, Zorro 2 variety) may not be satisfying.  You could go for a different 32-bit accelerator with more ram or (as Save2600 said) snag a DKB 2632 on eBay.  Actually, I got one on eBay last year for a modest price, didn't have to wait too long.  It's the other DKB fastram expansion (3128?) that's rare and very expensive.

Are you also running an A2091 SCSI interface with 2 Megs of fast ram?

Unfortunately the 4MB on the 2630 does count toward the Zorro II limit... somehow.  4 more MB is as much as you can get in there with that accelerator (and without the previously mentioned 2632.)


How can this be?  Does the rom of the 2630 map the memory it to the wrong place?

I appreciate you being content, even an unexpanded Amiga is fun for me.  

OTOH, I and some others here have been told (by yet other ppl here) that we have the "Amiga desease".  Grin.  This desease compels me to upgrade an Amiga to do everything modern (the web, Mp3s, USB, etc), if possible.  I guess there are more expensive afflictions.

The secret to inexpensive upgrading is to not be in a hurry, but no pressure here.
