     Why are you blaming CBM when it's your fault?  If you had asked about
expanding through the internal expansion bus past the 512K range on this
net, you would have received many informed answers and information.
     Many people have strongly urged, on uxa, that if you are expanding your
system over than a meg on the A500, to get an expansioin system through
the 86 pin expansion bus on the side of the Amiga, as CBM engineers PLANNED.
The internal was meant to add 512K and a clock.  Any other expansion through
there is a hack.  
     Most expansions internally are slow-fast ram.
          expansions externally are fast ram.

          expansions internally sometimes have autoconfig problems.
                     externally, all memory expansions autoconfig w/o
                                a glitch nowadays

          expansions internally increase the heat inside the computer
                     externally they do not and usually do not draw
                      power f/ the system (they have options for external
                       power supplies).
 
     The best way to expand the A500 is through a hard drive/memory expansion
system on the side bus, though many companies also offer just memory if you
so desire.
                                  Good luck w/ your setup,
                                   and hope you get VD0: running,
                                       it's worth it,
