Why flame Commodore about something they didn't make? Commodore only claims
that the A500 is expandable to 1 Meg by using the A501 expansion board. They
didn't make the Adram 540 and they don't have anything to do with the way
it configs memory, nor does Commodore have anything to do with VD0:. If you
must flame someone flame the company that made the Adram, don't try to give
Commodore a bad reputation by flaming them about something they have nothing
to do with.
