can you provide a photo of the bottom side of the assembled board? Or is there an assembly guide? I'm confused on how the socket fits in with the header pins.

It doesn't, from the first post in the thread "As the one made for the A500, you'll have to desolder the PLCC socket of the Amiga motherboard and solder the Megachip at its place."

I understand that part. The part that seems strange to me is the underside of the board. I would assume the pins of the PLCC socket would interfere with the header pins and the holes on the motherboard. That's why I asked for a photo of the underside assembled board so I could understand.

Impossible... PLCC socket has its onw holes which are totally different of the ones of the pins headers.
The pins headers have a plastic part which allow to seat the Megachip onto the motherboard. NO SHORTS POSSIBLE...

@oggie: Pictures of the bottom of the Megachip added.

Hah. Now I see. The socket is offset from the headers underneath. Will this work with a 500/2000 that has 512mb on board chipram? Does it just bypass the onboard memory?

Are these still available? I would like to buy one. Ideally pre-soldered but can also do it myself if needs be.

Thanks

Interested in on kit if still available.

I'm possibly interested in two kits, but I need to know:
1 - Will it fit with a tf530 accelerator?
2 - Does it bypass the chip memory on the mainboard? So it doesn't matter if I have 512KB or 1MB ? I have a blank a2000 PCB and if I don't need to install any chip memory with this, that's great.

I'd be greatly interested in buying one assembled unit if still available. This item is actually the reason I signed up on Amibay

Hi, Yes, but you'll have 1MB. For having 2MB, you'll have to add an expansion memory into the expansion port memory of the A500.
The Megachip doesn't bypass the motherboard memory. It add its memory to the one of the motherboard.

The Megachip works with all accelerator boards. Perhaps you'll need to add an intermediate socket between the motherboard and your tf530.

2 - Does it bypass the chip memory on the mainboard? So it doesn't matter if I have 512KB or 1MB ? I have a blank a2000 PCB and if I don't need to install any chip memory with this, that's great.

First part of this point answered above. If you want 2MB, you'll have to add chip memories onto your motherboard.
