#IBM compatability
7 messages in this thread
Please tell me how to make my Amiga IBM compatable, I would also like to add
40 to 50 meg of ram
Which Model of Amiga? If it's the A1000, you can add the SideCar (if
you can find one). If it's an A2000, you add the BridgeCard. If it's an
A500, you add an expansion box with PC bridge slots and then add the SideCar.
You say you'd like to add 40 to 50 Meg of RAM???? I hope you meant a
40 or 50 meg Hard Drive as the Amiga won't expand to 40 or 50 Meg of RAM, it
will take 9 Meg maximum (anyway…40 Meg of RAM would cost about $10,000).
Again…adding a hard drive depends on the model of Amiga.
I'd suggest you contact a dealer and look at the options available to
you with your model of Amiga. That way you can see what's available and in
what price range…both for adding IBM compatability and a Hard Drive.

> It Will Take 9 Meg Maximum
Wrong, i plan on expanding to 10.5 Megs
ASDG 8 Meg Card (installed now) A500 512K (factory stock) A501 512k
(installed) Insider 1.5 (Coming soon)
You will need to use ADDMEM to work it, but it is feasable

Unless you plan on doing some bank switched garbage, it's not going to work.
The machine will only let you directly address 9 meg.
