you need
1-Amiga 500 mobo rev 8 with 8375 agnus
2- R2 = 68 ohm resistor
3- R1 - 1k ohm resistor
4- D1 D2 = 2x V4148 diode ( 1N4148 )
5-4 chip 1Mx4b memory chip for example TC514400AP-80 or KM44C1000AP-8
-Or soj to dip adapter and memory from some old graphic card or old simm
for example Panasonic mn414400Csj-06

Memory chip you can buy from amibayer LTAC
original 20DIP



after operation
you have to change few jumper
JP3 - desolder
JP4 near U32 chip - you have to solder upper pads
JP2 near AGNUS


thats all

Where do the 4 additional chips go? In the empty slots?
 
no ,you have to desolder old chip

MOD is very simple I recommend this MOD because original Mini Megi cost price is very high about 100-150 eu

this mod is about 15 eu for all

resistors I found in old damage Amiga 500 rev6 mobo there is few 1K and 68 Ohm :-)

you dont need a mini mega for a 500+ it already supports 2mb of chipram.

also,there was another way to get it to 2mb as well as this way.which involved mounting another 8 256x4 dip ram ics over the old ones
 
That's an Amiga 500 plus which doesn't need to be modded. Just purchase a 1MB expansion done.
 
what :-)) ??? are you kidding ? really ? :-)
that is impossible
please see my photo again !!

It's an A500+ board but not an A500+ as it is missing some components compared to a 500+ which is the 4 RAM chips plus the interface chips. If you add them, you can make it into a 1MB board and then add 1MB in the trapdoor to make it 2MB. All that will be more expensive than this.
