Hello guys,
  Have one Amiga 1000 at home and when my trusty local Amiga tech guy
popped the lid for cleaning and maintenance (it slept in someones barn for
some years), he found someone had done a homemade hack of RAM expansion of
an increase to 1 meg....he had never seen a homebuilt hack like it before.

  It uses Kickstart 1.3.......Gotta set it up again in the spring when it
is warm in garage.  Already have the C=64 set up in one room and the C=128
in the other room. Running out of space....:-/
