[b]A500 MEMORY EXPANSION ON A1200??[/b]

..If i buy it will it work on my a1200??

Im assuming no, but hoping yes, because £1 for 2mb amiga500 trapdoor ram, is tempting (even if it doesnt work)

I dont think so,

The A1200 is a 32 bit machine and the A500 isn't.
anyone please correct if im wrong, but i *think* the memory addressing is totally different as well as the actual physical size of the trapdoor expansions+number of pins.

AFAIK the trapdoors are different. A500 expansions do not fit into the A1200.

Not even close to fitting. Sorry.
