- OK - I will answer this question just once.
-
- The AA (or AGA as it is now known) chip set is NOT pin compatible with ECS or
- the original chip set. In other words, you CANNOT just plug AGA into an
- A3000/2000/500/600 or 1000. AGA requires a whole new motherboard.
-
- A motherboard upgrade is a marketing decision, and I cannot answer for them,
- because I don't know if such an offer is planned.
