Default Rev 6 A500 memory expansion
Ok, picked up a nearly brand new A500 from a thrift store. It honestly looks like someone took it out the box, played with it for a while, put it back in the box and then stored the box in their closet for the last 15 years. Its the best A500 I have had the pleasure of seeing. Hardly a spec of dust anywhere.


Opened it up and found a 501 ram expansion in the belly and it has a Rev 6 motherboard in it.

My Question is: Is there still a source for those memory chips to bump the 512k chip ram up to a full megabyte?
Something other than killing another A500 to take the memory out of?


I have read on the web that my A501 ram board will no longer work once bumping the ram up to 1 meg on board, but are there any other downsides/catches that I should be aware of? Will one of the Baseboards still work with this mod?


Also, any suggestions on other chip upgrades I should make to it?
