- This is from the service bulletin that I received when I
- bought my 1meg AGNUS. I have typed it in verbatum, except
- that I left out the instructions for the A2000.

- 8372 FATTER AGNUS
- INSTALLATION PROCEEDURES
-
- The new 8372 Fatter Agnus IC, (P/N 318069-02), will require the
- following modifications for proper operation.
-
- If no modifications are performed the IC will address only 512K
- of Chip RAM and operate only in the NTSC Mode.
-
- NOTE: The correct IC Extractor tool must be used when removing
- the original 8370 FAT AGNUS from the socket. The Extractor Tool
- is available from Commodore Parts. P/N 314874-01

- INSTALLING THE FATTER AGNUS IN THE AMIGA 500
-
- 1) Locate Jumper Pad JP2 (Between 68000 at U1 and ROM at U6)
- and use a sharp Exacto Knife to cut the trace connecting
- the Bottom and Center Pads. Solder the Top and Center Pads.
- * This will enable Address 19 from the 68000.
- * See page 39 of A500 Service Manual
- 2) Locate the RAM Expansion Bus Connector CNX. Pins 1 and 2
- are on the Bottom Row and Pins 55 and 56 on the Top Row.
- Count up from the bottom, (By Twos), and locate Pins 41 and
- 42. About 1/8" to the left is a plated hole with a trace
- which runs straight up, (Parallel with the white silkscreen
- line designating the CNX Connector Outline.) This trace
- should connect between to Pin 32 of CNX and Pin 32 of the
- GARY IC U5. This trace must be cut.
- * This controls the _EXRAM Signal.
- * See Pages 39 and 40 of A500 Service Manual
-
- NOTE: There is also another trace running straight up next
- to the trace which must be cut. This trace may be
- obscured by the silkscreen line.
- BE VERY CAREFUL THIS TRACE IS NOT CUT
-
- 3) Line Pin 1 of the 8372 FATTER AGNUS with Pin 1 of the
- Socket and insert IC.
