Not necessarily.  If the system in question has not had the modifications done
to utilize the 1-meg Agnus, 'Avail' may still only show 512K CHIP, although
the 1-meg beast is in fact present.  I did have some code lying about for
determining which Agnus was installed in the system, but it's buried in some
dark directory somewhere.  If interest prevails, or if someone wishes to
e-mail me I can try to dig it up.

  A scientist is one who finds interest in the kinetic energy of Jell-O
   moving at ridiculous velocities...an engineer is one who can find a
               real-life application for such silliness.
