Super Agnus 8375 2MB ChipRam in A2000

Stormrider · 13 January 2006, 02:11

Hi All
What advantage would it be to install a Super Agnus 8375 2MB ChipRam
in a A2000?

Umm.. It gives you 1MB more chipram...

No, the install of a 8375 Agnus will NOT give you more Chipram, it only makes the A2000 capable of Adressing 2MB ChipRam but you will need to Hack the Board to do so !!!

I dont even know it that is possible to an A2000 Board ... better get a Mini-Megi Chip for your A2000, theres the 8375 on it and 1MB Chip to expand the A2000 ...

The 3875 comes in two flavours, PAL and NTSC. Make sure if you buy one or a Mini-Mega that you get the right one for you.

It did come in two flavors, but couldn't you short two pins on the PAL version to fool it into thinking it was NTSC? Or maybe the other way around. I seem to remember something about that but those brain cells are swimming in the darkness right now.

That was the previous version, the 8372, where there was one ASIC for both PAL and NTSC

Ah, thanks! I do have the 1MB version in my A2000.
