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'. — VJ >>Is the board on which these are mounted called the "mother board?"<< Yes. 🙂 Ron. – ap'ing with AP.
