Hard to install supra ram 2000 card?
« on: August 27, 2015, 01:25:35 AM »
Dear Friends:

Is it hard to install a supra ram 2000 card with 4 mb into my amiga 2000 (68000)?
I have 2 worries:

1- The card will be too hard for me to install right.
2- I am afraid the card will not work and screw my amiga.

Any thoughts ?

Man, you must have a real fear of simple hardware ;) Just use common sense and don't over think it.

Its not hard, just select a slot that lines up with the fingers on the card, it will take a bit of pressure to fully seat it,so expect this.

Its a fairly rare thing a card will do permanent damage to a a computer. If anything, bad ram on the card or a broken card will just throw up a error on boot. Worst case remove the card.

+1 to what Mechy said.

That card is designed for your system.  Disconnect power, touch something metal to ground yourself (or don't shuffle your socks on the carpet beforehand), open case, line card up, push it down, screw it to the backplane, done.  I'd try to get it in the right-most slot when facing the front of the system, if you can (if you have no other expansions).
