- It's a new chip set, not pin-compatible with the old one. Why? The main
- problem is the ECS video chip, Denise, vs. the new one, Lisa. Denise has 16
- data inputs and 12 pixel outputs. Lisa has 32 data inputs and 24 pixel outputs.
- These obviously don't drop into the same socket.

- I'm waiting to see what the boys at DKB Software come up with :-). They got my
- A2500 here up to 2MB of chip RAM and 20MB of 32-bit fast RAM.

- In other words, it's possible, but you won't find it as easy to drop in as a
- "MegaChip 2000".
