I read a magazine article (Amazing Computing I think) which stated that in
addition to voiding your warranty by installing the fatter Agnus, Commodore
engineers insist that the fatter Agnus does not work properly in the 500.
Timing problems were mentioned. I this true? I was planning on putting the
fatter Agnus in my 500, the local dealer will even do it if I sign a waiver,
but I'm not so sure now if it will make the machine less reliable. Any 
comments anyone?
