No! No! NO! That's wrong!

I got the cheapest plcc extractor I could find on ebay and that works fine, not a scratch on the old chip. Your mileage may vary, obviously. I wasn't sure which versions of Agnus are PAL/NTSC - the one in the MegAChip is PAL only though? I can't remember the part number offhand.

tknice I paid twice what Vesalia's asking, seems a bargain. Go for it.

Jens I did the trace scratching thing when I installed the MegAChip, but I'm not entirely confident I did a good job on the one by the trapdoor. Everything seems to work but can you (or, indeed, anyone else) recommend a good memory check tool? The ACA500plus recognises it as 2MB chip

Edited to add: tknice is that a Gary adapter for a trapdoor expansion bigger than 512k? Jens recommended to disable trapdoor memory >512k because of the way the memory is addressed in a way the aca500plus can't see. I assume that's still the current advice.
