Video Description
My Commodore Amiga 500 really needs some Amiga upgrades! In this series I will take it from a stock A500, to a machine that I would have been proud to have back in 1997, by modifying its logic board, giving it 1MB of chip RAM and then installing a hard drive in the form of a GVP HD8+ sidecar. First, lets do an inspection and see what we have to work with... • Join our Amiga Discord server https://discord.gg/tWC3z2j7sM • Help the channel to improve & grow by supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/retronauttech/membership • Drop us a tip, & support us on Ko0-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/retronauttech 00:00 - Intro 03:19 - My A500 Overview 04:04 - Memory Expansion Cards 06:07 - Amiga Memory Types 10:04 - Better Storage? 12:52 - GVP A500-HD8+ 22:54 - Conclusion #retro #retrocomputer #amigas #amiga500 #amigarepair #amigaupgrade #computerrepair #upgrade #upgrades
