Bought this to add 8MB of fast ram to my A500…

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-CDTV-A500-8MB-RAM-Board-/322538391341?hash=item4b18c9472d:g:78EAAOSwSypY9~Ze

So after trying to install the ram board I quickly found that it wouldn’t fit with an IndiECS installed. I pulled the IndiECS.

Installed the ram board - which just barely clears the keyboard.

So had to raise the IndiECS with some risers.

Here’s everything installed with the IndiECS

8MB Fast RAM

2MB Chip RAM

Everything fitting nicely….

Running Indy 500 on the Wide screen!
