VJ >>Did find a chip named Fat Lady <—- is that one an Agnus?<<
yes. 😀
Apparently, the guys that designed the motherboards like to have some fun
with the naming of jumpers and sockets.
They labeled the Agnus socket, 'Fat Lady', instead of the Fat Agnus
socket. If you look at the actual chip in the socket, it should see the
Agnus name on the chip.
My old A500, has the name 'Rock Lobster', on the motherboard, next to the
floppy drive. The A500 designers, were fans of the group "The B-52's",
and etched the name of their song 'Rock Lobster' in the Amiga.
I believe Dave Haynie, hid his name inside the A4000, by labelling one
jumper 'Dave', and another 'Haynie'.
