Re: Maximum RAM in an A500

Hmmm... I'm not so sure the 8 meg limit is correct
in a stock A500.  I have an A1000, which (I think) is
basically the same machine as an A500.
The A1k has the 512k Agnus chip. My A1k has an
512k expansion ram for a total of 1 meg stock.
I have a RocTec A500 harddrive with 8 megs ram
installed. I use the drive on the A1k and when it boots
it shows 512k chip and 8 1/2 megs fast.
So unless there is something different between
the two machines, then 8 megs is not the limit.
I don't know what would be the limit, but my A1k
seems to tell me its not 8 megs.
I had always thought it was 16 megs but I could
very easily be wrong about that.
