Memory

Here's a picture of my A2000's memory expansion board:

It uses little chips which are called DIPPs if I remember correctly? Anyway - they remind me of the 1MB Memory I once bought for my 286/20Mhz, which was a hand full of these little buggers.

My question is.. does anyone know if I can use these same DIPPs that I used on my 286/20Mhz for my Amiga 2000? I still have that 286 mainboard somewhere and hey.. an extra 1MB of memory wouldn't hurt, totalling my A2000 at 4MB. :)

Any risc of blowing stuff up or something like that? Anyone has any experience with this, using old PC DIPPS on Amiga expansion boards?

There is of course a risk of blowing things up if the chips are not compatible... I don't know if they are, really.. DIPPs don't ring a bell. I only remember memory ZIP modules.

Hmm what if I wiggle one out of my 286 mobo and put it under my scanner? :)

You kill it with static ;p

I just can't win, can I? :D

I don't know, I wouldn't be jeopardizing my Amiga's life doing such things as the one you want to do... Your call :) If somebody else replied to this, saying it is opssible... but no one did, so I suppose you just can't
