#--------------  HOW TO INSTALL RAM INTO AN AMIGA 3000 -----------------

#The first thing to do is switch the jumper on the motherboard so the
#Amiga knows that it will be using ZIPP chips for fast memory instead
#of DRAMS.  The manual has a great picture showing you where it is and
#how to change it.

J852 allows the choice between 256Kx4 and 1Mx4 ZIP's. People using 256Kx4
need not to change anything. There's no need (and no jumper, too) to switch 
between DRAM's and ZIP's.

#However, I did not find it so easy to take them out.  I was pulling
#with all my might to get them, and I nearly broke 3 or 4 of them. 

I used all-purpose nippers for that job (yes, just these usually for 
car-repair!). Worked great for me, tchak, tchak... And I broke none
of them, they all work fine in the new box (the old had some flaws, so
I returned it to my dealer...).
