Can anyone tell me how difficult/easy it is to add RAM to the
Amiga after the first 256K expansion?

For instance, are all dynamic ram control signals available
on the bus (row select, column select, refresh, ...) or do
some signals have to be derived externally? If these signals
are available why are commercial expansion board so expensive?
With current mail order price using 256K x 1 DRAM it should not
cost more than U.S.$170 for 1.5 mega-byte of chips.

I'm asking this because my dealer doesn't have the hardware
manual in stock and I want to know if I can expand my Amiga
to 2 meg myself.
