I just read an interesting little rumor in Amiga Resource (yes yes I know :^) )
that a 2 meg Agnus was shipped in Revision 6 A500.  I opened mine up and no I
have a Revision 5 motherboard :-(.  Ah well...I just posted this so that any of
you lucky Rev 6 owners can peer inside you A500 to see if it is.  NOTE::This
is a rumor and the blurb goes on to say that C= has gone back to "normal" A500.

Sorry I dont know any details...the blurb said the reason these Super Angus
machines were released were to use 1 meg X 4 chips when 256K chips got real
expensive.  Also Rev 6 owners may be able to put 1 meg on the motherboard
by replacing the 256K chips by the 1 meg chips and changing a few jumpers...
this of course will void your warranty.

Just thought this would be interesting.
