Hi John,
Of course its possible to upgrade your A500. There are boards with 68020 and
68030 CPU's, and 68882-50 (!) copro's. On those boards you also can put PS/2
RAM's. These boards are (in Austria or Germany) about 140 – 200$.
A new kickstart is about 70 $, OS 3.1 is about 150 $.
If you need, you also get AT or SCSI controllers.( 100 – 200 $)
And if you need, you'll also get a tower for all those things (incl your 500)
for about 350 $.
As you see, nearly everithing is possible, you just have to know wich features
you need. I had the same "problems" with my A500 one year ago – I bought a
A1200…
