Hi,

	I just received the new FATTER agnus chip in the mail today.
It came by itself, and I didn't have a special chip extractor, so I
used a modified paper clip to pull out the old chip.  (I just gave a
tug on the corner, and the chip came flying out!  I damaged the corners
though, but the pins still make contact.)  Anyway,  I put the case back
and turned the computer on.  It seems to work fine so far, although it
crashed on FastMemFirst.  *However*, the chip memory indicator still
shows total chip memory of 512k.  Typing 'Avail' also shows the same thing:
Chip:	512k
Fast:	512k
expansion:	2 meg.

Now, am I doing something wrong?  Is there something I should do to
activate the new agnus?  I know this was discussed a while ago on the
net, but I missed the postings.  Would some informed person *please*
email or post some information on the fatter agnus?  Everything else
seems to work fine.  I just can't get past the 512k chip memory limit
and I thought thats what the fatter agnus was supposed to circumvent.

Please reply soon!

Thanks,

ruze
