Greetings,

I've done quite a bit of searching on this and can't find any help.

I acquired an A501 and installed it in my Amiga 500 with rev.5 motherboard. Booting up I see no additional RAM. The board looks perfect. I can't see any imperfections or problems with it physically. However, after installing I have no extra RAM, and in the CLI typing AVAIL I see Maximum chip 515864, fast 0, total 515864. There are no bent pins.

Do I need to do something other than just install the board? It didn't come with a battery, but I believe it will work fine without one.

Thanks for any help!
