I use to have the "accelerator" (68000 @28MHz). I bet the RAM have more use.

I used to have Supra 28 MHz, too. It was nippy compared to original but needed at least that slow ram expansion to work. It really accelerated things - for instance F1GP and Lotus series. And floppy reading too!

The casing does have a side panel - the removal of two small screws underneath allows the panel to be removed and gives access to the through port...

Having just got hold of an A500 it at last gave me the chance to fully test the Cortex Expansion I have... I am pleased to report that it works fine with all 8MB of RAM showing up - and the little Green light works!!!

I am listing my Cortex 8MB A500 RAM expansion on Ebay later tonight - I'll put the link in the Ebay section when I do it....
Rather than have it sit in a box it makes sense to sell it and let someone else enjoy it! It is a great item and I have never seen another one - it is a piece of Amiga history now being featured on the Amiga Resourse website...! I am selling my A500 set up to fund other projects - like what's for dinner tomorrow... |

Then I saw that you'd mentioned your interest earlier, so left it open for you.  It's a superb add-on for an A500.
