Just some small ones I know for certain. I'm relatively sure you got others on that list wrong as well, but I don't feel like putting in any extra time finding out, as I'm pretty sure I know where this thread is going.

Errr, there's tons of them. Both old and new. These go into the side slot (though some go directly onto chips on the motherboard). In fact, most HDD controllers double as a fast ram memory expansions as well.
Just check the Big Book of Amiga Hardware (

Here's just one of many, many A500 fast ram expansions as an example:

5) the mess with "standard" return codes: only 0, 5, 10, 20 are actually allowed;
|
Not true, only 0,5,10,20 are used as standard. But you can use any value and I've certainly had executables that exited with other codes.

9) only limited preemptive multitasking supported because there is no kill-command in Amiga DOS.
|
The lack of a kill command does not mean pre-emptive multitasking is not fully supported. It's actually a rather strange claim as multitasking has nothing to do with the ability to kill programs.
Anyway, it's not even really true: there are ways to kill processes at least starting with OS 2.0+ (which were available on all the systems you mention), although I will admit I'm not entirely sure whether this was a standard command or one that was part of the developer kit.
