3578.0. " A500 Service Manual .. are they available" by LARVAE::TIERNEY (the answer is YES ! ... now whats the question ? ) Tue Mar 13 1990 21:04


	Questions from a new (U.K.) A500 disciple  ........



	1.	Can Joe Public gain access to copy of the AMGIGA 500
		Service Manual, or are we locked into " Authorised "
		maintenance organisations ?

		
	2.	The motive behind this question is that having decided
		to augment memory by adding the A501 module ..I notice
		that on page F-4 of the Standard Intro_Booklet that the
		sixteen XX256-15 Memory DRAMs are apparently only using 
		9 address bits out of a possible 12.

		Are there any whispers of Commodore launching a 2 Meg
		internal A500 .. using newer technology (1x1Meg chip) ?
		
		If this has been discussed ad-nausea in earlier Notes
		please re-direct and forgive the repeat. The existing
		12.5 Billion Notes on the World_of_Amy, make long and
		interesting reading ... 

	
	My thanks in anticipation 
		

		Mike

    I don't know about the 500, but I purchased the specs for the 2000
    from my dealer. Can't remember how must it costed though; $30-$75 comes
    to mind.

    Check out your amiga.
    
    If it's new it may have 256k x 4 memory chips in and all you have
    to do is add some more ( I think ? ).
