So. This made people even more confused.(I assume this from
the amount of E-mail concerning it I've received) Therefore,
I'll elaborate: I put the RAMexpansion in correct, but
the cable from the internal diskette station had to be
removed from its connector, and I didn't press it hard
enough back in place. I put the Amiga back up and was
in heaven for almost two hours, when the damned cable
decided to jump off the connector, leaving my Amiga DEAD.
I don't know tech stuff, but I know that the repair man
said I needed a new kickstart ROM, because it was dead.

But, that leaves the possibility, that I stabbed the
poor chip with my screwdriver, while I had her(Amiga) open. :-)
