- <> question (not answered by any FAQ I could find): What can I do to
- <> upgrade/enhance this beast? Ie hard drives, accelerators, video, etc. etc.
- <> Also, what's the easiest way to xfer files to an Amiga without a modem?
- <> Can I use PC or Mac disks, or is there a way to connect my Amiga to my Mac?

- Upgrades come in varying flavors and costs.
-
- You can add:
-
- - an accelerator (faster CPU/memory)
- - more CHIP RAM
- - better version of Workbench/Kickstart
- - a SCSI controller and hard
- drive/CD-ROM/ZIP/SyQuest/whatever
- - a flicker fixer to allow you to use a cheap VGA monitor or
- a nice multisync
- - more floppy drives
- - more FAST RAM
- - a genlock
- - an audio digitizer
- - a scanner
- - etc.
-
- Keep in mind that almost all of these options are added
- EXTERNALLY to the A500.
-
- Email me if you want specifics, such as phone numbers, etc.
