ICD Upgrade to A500?
I have an A500 with 1 meg and an external disk drive.
For some time now I have been considering whether to upgrade or wait till I
can afford an A2000 (or better) with more ram, hard drive, accelerator and
maybe a bridgeboard.
As I read reviews and comments about the ICD products intended to upgrade
the A500 internally, they seem an attractive way to get the configuration I
want without obsoleting what I have (especially since I can't get nearly
what I paid for my A500 if I try to sell it).
I am looking at their Prima Speed (which, as I understand, includes an
accelerator with hard drive controller and hard drive placed internally in
the A500 plus their Shuffleboard to make the external drive df0:), their
Flicker Free Video 2 (to enhance video), their AdRAM 540 for more ram, and
their Kickback (to allow switching between 1.3 and 2.04). I will probably
install a Fatter Agnus (1 meg) also, and I plan to get a larger power
supply to power it all.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with or knowledge
of ICD's products to upgrade the A500. I am particularly interested in any
compatibility problems that exist between any of the products.
Is there an internal bridgeboard type hardware alternative available for
the A500, and if so will it work with these ICD products? With all the
other stuff inside the case will there be room for anything else?
