Dave, Did CBM give any reason as to why they don't support it? When I couldn't find a dealer who would do my A500 (and they couldn't give a reason other than CBM would yank their dealership) I did it myself. After all, the board is out of warranty. Took me all of ten minutes to strip the machine down, swap Agnus chips and make the changes to the traces. The system has worked fine for me with no glitches. I had upgraded to 5 meg of ram, but it wasn't until I upgraded to 1 meg of chip mem that it REALLY became useful. Could it be that CBM would rather have 500 owners selling them and buying 2000's? I spent a small fortune on my A1000 starting back in '86 and either hung, bought or made every accessory and option on it. Then it became outdated. (along with my audio and video digitizers, like my Digiview 1.0). So I got an A500 (couldn't afford a 2000) and in the last year, have expanded it to 4 meg fast, 1 meg chip, and 3 scsi HD's for a total of 114 meg of storage. A person like me is not going to drop all that and spend even more money just to get another 512K of chip mem.
