I managed to get one at a cut rate price only later to find out that it had a rough life in its previous home. The A590 I have has got the following: AWK 312618 REV 7 512k expansion RAM (120 ns, CMOS) Epson HMD 755, IDE type Hard Drive The problem is that my Amiga 500 will not function when the memory is installed. The memory is installed properly. No problems with the chips sitting the wrong way. The 512k jumper IS set. As soon as I turn the A500 on it just sits on a light grey screen. No request for Workbench, no blinking power LEDs, nothing. I'm not expecting any miracles.... but perhaps a little insight into whats happening with my A590. Thanks, Jason
