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
