Data Flyer 500
« on: November 25, 2009, 05:30:20 PM »
Hey guys!  

I have never owned an Amiga before but happened across a box of amiga stuff which I saved from being tossed out.  I grew up on the Atari computers since that is what my parents bought me in the 80's.  I got a Amiga 500, Ext. Floppy, Supra Turbo 28 (some sort of accelerator?), Data Flyer 500 with 240MB SCSI with memory addon card, 1084 Monitor ,and the Amiga has 1MB ram.  I identified all this stuff using online pictures at the Amiga hardware site (pretty handy site).  I had to take everything apart and clean it to make it work but suprisingly everything works!  It's fun to play with and I will say its much better than any Atari computer I had when I was a kid. The sound is unbelievable from this thing.  Atari's POKEY was good but not anything like the A500 sound.  Anyway....my question is:

The Data Flyer 500 has a memory expansion card with 2MB installed.  What kind of Memory is that?  Can I still find that memory these days?

Also inside the A500 is some sort of aftermarket board plugged in which I have no idea what it does.  I will try to post pictures when I get out of work.

Here is the unknown board.  It looks like a ROM of some sort.  I am not familiar enough with Amiga's to know.
