Thanks for your response, Don. I used the tweezer type puller to get the
Agnes chip out. I don't think I damaged the socket. The machine works just
like it always did with the old Agnes installed. If there's something wrong
with the blitter… it doesn't seem to cause any problems in the original
configuration.
If I go back in to install the Fatter Agnes, do I just change the jumper at
J2 and forget about disconnecting pin 32 of the Gary chip? The instructions
I was following seem to indicate that this is necessary to prevent the
Exram signal from being tied to ground.
If installing Fatter Agnes in a 1 meg machine, results in 1 meg of chip ram
and no fast ram, does that present a problem?
Do I really gain anything significant by making this work?
Thanks, Mike
