A1200 cheap memory upgrade?

Overkill · 10 January 2012, 15:50

I'm trying to get some games running with WHDLoad, but I either get "not enough memory" or "can't allowcate expmem".

Is there a cheap way to expand the RAM?

I don't understand why SWOS needs more memory, because it says required Chip Memory 2048 KiB ($200000) Expansion Memory 0 KiB on the WHDLoad site http://www.whdload.de/games/SWOS.html

Join the club Overkill. Me, you and many others seek the most sought after A1200 add-on - the "4/8MB fast ram expansion" !

There are ways you can obtain this item:-

1. fleabay (prices may make u

)
2. Amibay
3. some EAB member who has recently upgraded
4. micromart (even tho they have dropped the Amiga page)
5. pick it up from a car boot/charity shop
6. ask Dr Indiana Jones to find u one on his next trip to Peru

perhaps you can find the 'pcmcia special RAM' dunno if its cheapest, but should be as its slowest.

thought that was going to be the answer, I'm trying to get Rebootstart working to hopefully get around the memory problem

4/8MB fast ram expansion is just slow death,soon you need the power..
The way is 030 accelerator,
you can sleep and dream as well now?.. hehe

for the price, you may aswell go the ACA30 route.

although it would be nice if someone did another manufacturing run of just the ram cards. wouldn't cost much, surely?
