Congrats, opcode77.
Do you also know how to
upgrade the RAM from 1MB to 2MB?
I have been following your project very closely. I saw that you had the company in Seattle make special boards with newer ram chips. My brother is the one who can do all of that stuff. He is good at hardware, he has been building 8-bit machines from scratch for the last couple of years. I think my big problem is the Agnus chip that is needed.
I think the rejuvenator project is the most important piece of hardware for the 1000 going forward. The Parceiro solved the ram/drive side of the house, the rejuvenator project should fix the chip ram problem. One of the reasons that I spent that much on the board was to make sure someone from this site got it just in case we need those pal chips. With the way things are lost in the mail or the German team might not be able to get what is needed and the chips rendered useless.
Are the ram chip pcbs freely available or are they willing to build more of them?
