yes but 16bit versus 32bit , only thing that would be good for me to actually want too use an a 500 for anything serious would be loads of memory and loads of video ram other than that its crud.
i want speed and video as i would like too make some good games but its too limited with chip ram screen res , its a pity these super cool addons dont add a videocard that would be super pooper cool , 1gb ram 1gb video ram awesome not much too ask lol. |

Agreed. I find it interesting that there's growing interest in OCS, evidenced by the number of entries for OCS productions in demoparties going up over the last few years...

That one yes, was some kind of enterprise storage i think, is a really big disk, was made on something about 93/96, 40gb, 14 platters and 28 heads, so yes, they had a 4mb buffer

Cool, the cables are only for extra juice for the PPC? Did you have to do anything beyond soldering RAM either side/what does the underside look like?

About the ACA500 4megs, obviously the aca500 was designed to work (as default or as an optional add) with 4mb , you dont need to solder wires, or put jumpers, just populate the missing parts, the ram chip and 3 filtters (U12, C28, C29 and C30) nothing more is neded, power it up and youll have your aca500 4mb. Some pics here http://blog.elpilotohernan.com.ar/?p=2016 The other side (the underside) of my aca500 is virgin, theres nothing special, added or moded on it. |

4MB upgrade doesn't have to work in all Amigas, with several CF cards and it can be unstable. It's the reason why Jens has decided to release only 2MB version.
