Commodore A500 and A570!

[TjLaZer]

Since the forum lost recent posts, I'd thought I'd repost!  Got a A500 Rev 6A with PS for free last week!  Then on the way home I stopped by the local goodwill in Seattle and found a lonely Commodore A570 CD-ROM drive!  

Woot!  :banana:

After hooking everything up I was pleased to find out the A500 and drive work, but no CDTV games would work.  I discovered that the A570 needs 1MB Chip RAM to work, so I did the 1MB Chip mod on my A500 and it now works great!  Pretty cool playing CDTV games on this A500!  Now I need to find a 2-4MB RAM card to install in the A500.  I also want to install a Novia and AdIDE kit that I have, but holding off until I get the extra RAM.

Whats the SCSI card called for it?

I went to the site, it's on there, but I wonder if it is still avail?  I wish there was a RAM expansion option for it, as I have a AdIDE and Novia I want to install but need more RAM.  Nice add-on though.

Well all CDTV games seem to work fine.  But no CD32 CDs work.  I tried Wrath of the Demon, Lemmings, Xenon 2, and Defender of the Crown II so far!  I need to get more CDs...
