Amiga600 8 megabytes autoconfiguring fastRAM board (2008 year revision)
This board is the successor of earlier revision, it now offers reduced size, better CPU ventilation and variety of memory configurations.
See here for the complete project: https://github.com/lvd2/A600_8mb_2008
Quick installation guide
Open your A600 keyboard by deattaching LED cable to the right, then fit the board over the CPU as shown on photos. If you didn't
fit anything over A600's CPU before, it is recommended to clean its legs carefully. While fitting, press firmly but not too strongly
since the socket can be broken easily. The socket must fit to almost touch the PCB.
Turn the power on and you ammy must boot up smoothly with the fast memory. Every board is tested just before sending so any failure is
due to the faulty contacts in the socket. Unfortunately such a placement over the CPU is a pure hack and either stability or reliability
can not be guaranteed.
Some photos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Configuration guide
The board is highly configurable, allowing you using full 8Mb, half 4Mb with PCMCIA enabled, 1.5Mb non-autoconfiguring mem at $C00000
(as in A500), and a maximum of 4+1.5 Mb with PCMCIA still enabled. The remaining option is no mem at all. Just look at the picture:
You do not need to switch off Amiga when changing jumpers' configuration, though it is recommended. The changes will take place at the
power-on or next hardware reset (ctrl-lamiga-ramiga).
