Explain this to me as if I were a 5-year old.

What do I need to get a 2-meg Agnus working on the Rejuvenator?

I have seen pictures of an adapter floating around. So where do I find said adapter and what model Agnus do I need? Is it the easy-to-find 8375 or do I need the rarer A3000 Agnus?

Perform a search on the forum, here. It's been discussed pertaining to the Rejuvenator IIRC, and I recall seeing discussion regarding the different Agnus chip numbers (knowing which ones should work).

Be warned, however - the non-8375 2Mb Agnus chips are hard to find (and the asking prices definitely reflect that fact)...

It's pretty straightforward. Grab the gerbers for the two projects listed below and upload them to a board house like JLCPCB and get to soldering when they arrive.

@Fantomen links an 8375 Agnus (390544-01 as per the Amiga 500+ or 600) adapter here:

For the RAM, @rlake shared a board he created to adapt the more readily available SOJ layout 1Mx4 chips here:

You can see an image of his board with those "shims" installed a few posts above.

All that's left is to jumper the Rejuvenator for 2MB.

I believe that pdf guide applies to 8372ab chips, which are super rare. If you go 8375, I think you need the adapter?
