Amiga500 Upgrade CH:03 RAM Upgrade & Reassembly

Video Description

In this episode, we make a modification to my revision 6A Amiga 500, cutting a trace, to allow it to have 1MB of Chip RAM, by adding the 512KB in my trapdoor RAM expansion, to the 512KB on board. Once this is done, we put the machine back together, plug in my GVP A500-HD8+ sidecar SCSI Hard Disk and we check out how it performs.
