Message-ID: <1990Jun5.143809.23430@galadriel.bt.co.uk> Date: 5 Jun 90 14:38:09 GMT Organization: RT611 BTRL, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, UK Lines: 19 Sorry, its that same question again. The magic 12 Months has passed and on opening the A500 (thats what youre supposed to do isnt it!) I was pleasantly surprised to see a lovely little 8372A in the Agnus chip holder. Ok. So what do I do know? Ive got 3M (512K CHIP, 512K internal expansion (with clock) and 2M in my A590) As I understand it I have two choices. 1) Do the mods to enable me to fill up the extra spaces on the motherboard and remove the internal expansion. (Do I lose the clock doing this?) 2) Do the mods to enable the expansion to be used as CHIP and leave the spaces on the motherboard free. Can someone tell me what to do please. I would prefer to keep the internal expansion+clock and just convert this to chip. Is this the easiest? Any help, hints, ideas etc greatly appreciated. Cheers Steve Paine.
