- Hmmm, good point. I have the 256K mem expansion giving 512K Chip Mem +
- 1.5Meg Fast mem. I don't know if the 512 Chip would handle the ROM. I
- recently found someone selling their Rejuvenator board with 2.04 ROM and
- the ECS w/2 Meg Chip for $150. It's real tempting, but I have to keep my
- focus (and my pocketbook) on my A3000. I just thought it would be neat to
- spiff up the ol' A1000 without any great expense since i really no longer
- use it.
-
- Okay, a different angle. Is there an inexpensive way to use my old 2.04
- ROM chips from the A3000 on the A1000 motherboard? I bet the answer is
- no. I expect that to do this, I'll at least need to get some sort of ROM
- board. But I'm not really so sure the A3000 ROMs would even work in an
- A1000 anyway.
