Indeed, interesting 8Mb fastram upgrade. It seems to be pretty new. Could you give us some information about it?
I have 2 of Tom's adapters. A 4M in my A1000 and an 8M in my A500.
Great little pieces of kit (as they say).
True, they don't autoconfig.
But the autoaddram program is easy to use.
(In a weird way it's a bit nicer in that you don't have to disable the RAM for the few games that don't like FAST RAM. Just boot from their floppy and there is no FAST RAM.. Of course, most people will just use WHDLoad for those nowadays..)
Amigakit is really busy, but they did say they were working with Tom, so hopefully we will be able to get them from Amigakit soon, and I think they said they were looking at the RAM/IDE version.
I really like the idea of Amigakit selling some custom hardware themselves (like this eventually and their MAS Player MP3 device which is available now), and I'm glad Tom's boards will be getting more love.. ;-)
Nice looking 500+!
I have never seen one of those in the flesh. Seems like we went from A500 to A1200, at least where I was...
My 500 also has 2M CHIP (1M hack, and a Megachip) and 8M fast.
No hard drive for it tho.
I do have an AEHD high density (non-standard) external floppy, and WB (still 1.3) runs pretty good from floppy. :-)
