If you have an A1000, no luck if you don't buy a Rejuvinator or something similar that makes it more compatible with the newer machines. (costs) If you have an A3000, lucky you! Last, a 500 or 2000 may have the 1Meg Agnus if it is new. Otherwise it is easy to install it in the 2000 and should be more difficult but possible in thje 500. It could then be switched by software or a hardware switch. I don't know what the chip costs, but maybe $50 - $100? The chip swap voids your warranty, but you are probably out of warranty anyway if you haven't the 1Meg Agnus. Tommy Petersson tope@enea.se
