- A plain A500 with 68000 or 010 CPU could handle 10.5 (11.5?) MB of
- RAM. 2MB Chip-RAM (2MB Agnus), 8MB Fast-RAM and 0.5 (or up to 1.5?)
- MB of Slow-RAM.
-
- If your're getting a 68EC020 with only 24 address lines, then the
- 4MB will be mapped into your 8MB Fast-RAM space. The expandability
- of a real 68020 is only limited by the number of SIMM sockets
- available on your accelerator board. :)
