I have an A500 supra drive + ram.
The board has 16 sockets for the RAM

on my board it has 8 of these filled with Toshiba tc514400AP

What is the max ram these things can take? 4/8mb?
anywhere that I can buy more of these chips to take it to the max RAM?
the external socket (I assume is scsi?) can it handle a SCSI CD-ROM??

also does anyone know or have a small 50pin scsi cable that can be used inside this for the hard drive?
 
The SupraDrive can take a max of 8 Mb fastram using all 16 sockets with 1Mx4 DIPs...
 
if its a 500xp it can take 8mb of ram.

i didnt bother buying those ram ic's there expensive, i hacked a 8mb simm for memory ,
i also installed a 68 pin scsi drive with an adaptor,works great.and ...yes the the 50 pin cable can be got anywhere i have a couple or i just simply make them.

yes,they can have a cd rom and zip drive with appropriate drivers.
