	I also have an A500 with an Obese Agnus chip.. though it still cant
	access 1Mb of CHIP mem (i.e sound and graphics data in the $c00000
	range)... the only difference is that I can put my (PAL) Amiga
	into NTSC mode (50Hz to 60Hz) by freaking a few hardware registers..
	and that some games wont work!  Is my Obese Agnus also Not Activated?
