I too would also like to express interest in purchasing an 8mb board
You know what the most fun thing about this whole thing...I could be reallly twisted :twisted::twisted::twisted: and when I develop games using AMOS or AmiBlitz I will bank the registery into the 8mb fastmem boards with IDE in my game and store everything I need to make the game run on it....and.... AND ... and bang into the RAM registery of the 512 KB CHIP RAM expansion in the trap door as will....
This way if a person wishes to play my game on the Amiga they will be forced to own an Amiga 500, be forced to own and purchase the 8 MB fastmem boards with IDE and be forced to purchase the 512 KB of CHIP RAM expansion. IN FACT I CAN BE REALLY SADISTIC and go as far as requiring also the ACA RAM that will be developed PLUS THE ACA1232 card for the Amiga 1200 RAM as well...thus forcing purchasing the entire set of hardware to run the game.
THE MERE FACT I can do that....makes me go to bed today with the biggest grin in my face...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
LOL,
I like that idea, you may get lynched though. With 8mb of RAM there are a lot of doors opened though :)

This first project I am making will run on PAL Amiga only and if an NTSC is to be used it will prompt the appropriate message and refuse to go on. Until I get my hands on an A4000 or A1200 I will make all my games to run on A500...:)
Declaring interest in 1x 8MB version, will send a PM with questions etc.
kipper a matter for the A1000 adapter needed or no longer needed?
Thanks for clearing that up. Declaring interest in 2x 8MB boards and 1x A1000 adaptor.Quote:

There is compatability problems with the 68010, not so much with the board but generally... for example some psygnosis games (originals) will not load with a 68010. I do have an adapter to relocate the fastmem board in an A1000
One thing... The Rev 5 board case will not close properly with the fastmem board attached due to height issues so you should buy the adapter to give the board extra height and move it back further in the case. The Rev 6 and higher boards should "just be able to close without the need for the adapter to be attached. For better clearance i recommend spending the $4 for the adapter (I'm not making any money on it). it will help with sitting over the caps on the board
I have designed a small CPU adapter that will work in all Revs of the A500 that will make a much better fit. Once i receive it then i will show pics. Price will be $4 if you are buying the Fastmem board.
Everything is packed now for the move so i won't be able to do anything for the next couple of weeks.
Great work Kipper2k. Colour me interested for a 4MB/IDE board please.Cheers.
I'm interested in 2 card of 8 MB. I already sent you a pm.
Im interested in one 4MB board for my CDTV. Sending you a PM.
