What's the best (least expensive, easiest) way to expand an Amiga 1000 to yun-fong> 1 Meg? Depends. The least expensive is not the easiest. Probably the least expensive method is to get an internal memory expansion, such as the Inboard or Spirit. The easiest is a slap-on-the-side deal like the starboard. yun-fong> 2. What kind of memory chips are needed for the starboard memory expansion? The starboard takes standard 256kX1 chips, the same kind you stick in a garden-variety AT clone. I think they have to be at least 150 ns, but they might have to be faster. I bought some used memory chips that came from an old AT clone and they work fine in my Starboard. If your friend (or anyone else) is interested in purchasing a used Squeeze-RAM memory board (adds one meg of memory at $C00000, autoconfigures, installs internally between A1000 motherboard and Kickstart daughterboard, has worked fine in my A1000 for two years) then drop me email or call me: (415) 335-1503 (w), (415) 759-6590 (h). I'd let it go for pretty cheap. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM Entry Systems Division -- Engineering He says, "Take me to your leader" -- and I say, "Do you mean....George?"
