This is a small board that gives you 8MB of autoconfig Fast RAM, automatically detected by Kickstart.

Compatible with A500 / A1000 / A2000 / CDTV

Installation is pretty simple, you need to remove the 68000 from the socket and insert it into the GottaGoFastRAM board, then insert the board back into the CPU socket.

The GottaGoFastRAM is basically sandwiched between the CPU and the socket, so it doesn't take up much space. On the A500 or any Amiga without other autoconfig expansions installed it's plug and play, you don't need to connect anything to the CFGIN/CFGOUT pins, if you have other expansions check out the original project page for more info on those pins or simply ask me if you have any questions :)

You might notice that the optional buffer U4 is missing from the board in the picture, I actually soldered it later because the author recommends using it. This is an earlier photo I took while waiting to get the component in the mail, the board is fully populated now.

Price: 60€ + shipping

Note: on the CDTV the DMAC uses the first autoconfig slot, if you want to use this board in a CDTV I need to reprogram the chip with a special firmware.
This board was tested on my A500 and works perfectly, I can flash and verify the CDTV compatible firmware for you but keep in mind that I can't do a final test on a CDTV because I don't own one.
 
The package arrived and everything is fine.
Positive feedback added.
