Wow Mart - you're going to be busy! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I think you'll need to register your Hyperion games and get updated installers for OS4.1 though.
Have fun!

Wahooo a nice ickle Mame Cabinet :thumbsup:
I was in town today so did a bit of shopping:) seen as I'm getting a Indivision ECS and A604 Memory Expansion from Amigakit. Thought I would get prepared for removing the RF Modulator thankfully there's a couple of good guilds on here to keep me right :thumbsup: ps the soldering wick is in the post.
A while back, I posted news of my new Amiga, courtesy of a friend who knew I'd get more enjoyment out of it.

Well, I only just got the power supply at the weekend, and had the opportunity to switch it on today.
After a couple of games of Pinball Dreams, Archer MacLean's Pool and Lemmings (which my kids loved by the way!), I loaded into the Workbench disk to have a play around with the speech synthesizer (like the good old days!).
I happened to glance at the chipmem in the title bar - 2 megs!!!
So, what does this mean? There is a card in the trapdoor slot, which I had assumed was the extra 512 for the A500 Plus, but it seems not.
Any ideas?
Either way, A nice wee surprise!

The A500+ comes with 1MB as standard (soldered onto the motherboard), if you have a ram expansion in there its likely to be another meg, making 2MB in total.
Oh, have you removed the battery from it?
Not yet- I had the case open to have a look and there's no damage, but I do intend to get shot of it.
I had heard that it was a simple case of snipping the pins, but it seems a bit more awkward than that.
I'll have another look at the various hints and tips on here before I have another look...
Cheers!

Not always Taj my friend, most of them where sold with 512k but with gaps between the chips for an extra 1mb of one desired to solder some in. :)Quote:

@Chris: no mate.
You are confusing the A500+ (which ALWAYS have 1Mb soldered to the board) with the normal A500 (latest revisions 6 & 8 ).
Both revision 6 (when using a 8372 Agnus) or revision 8 (in fact a half-made A500+) can have 1Mb of chip RAM soldering the missing chips.
The butchered (A500 and not A500+) Rev8 boards are the ones with the right Agnus (8372), but missing
- the Denise of A500+
- the chips of 1MB (only 512KB soldered)
- the demux chip
- the clock battery
- the RTC chip plus components
If you change the Denise, and solder the remaining parts... you got yourself an A500+ :)
