- You've got 512k chip. The ram for the KS is possibly on the motherboard
- or on a piggyboard above.

-
- I use the A590 CBM scsi-controller. Other A500(+) controllers might
- work also. The expansion port on the right side is almost the same as on
- the A500. Of course you will be looking at the rear of the controller,
- as it has to follow the location of the expansion slot. Not upside down
- though.
- Ram expansions as the supra RX500 and internal controller ram also
- autoconfigure properly.

-
- The otherwise normal-used pins are standard, but they are switched
- male/female, and there are some extra pins with power. Just only connect
- the normally used pins in your cable, and it works fine.
