One antique chip posted from the UK, a small piece of tape, a tiny act of vandalism, and finally my Amiga has achieved a new level of hackery. One whole megabyte of chip RAM!

Just to stocktake here, what used to be a stock revision 5 Amiga 500 now has ...
- a 68010 CPU
- an upgraded Angus to support 1MB of chip RAM
- an 8 meg RAM expansion and IDE controller
- Kickstart 3.2 ROM
- a gotek floppy emulator
- 64GB SDD
- Compact Flash card reader

It's getting closer to done, I guess. Not much else to do without turning it into something completely different.

It's done! The long desk in the retro room is ready to receive some computers! I'm not sure which machines I'll put there. At the very least a #C64 and an #Amiga500 and a #PhilipsP2000. Maybe a #486 PC on the right... We'll see!

I finished A Thing! A new power supply for my Amiga 500, but Mean Well did the hard part really. I probably spent the most time on picking out a fancy sleeve for the power cable so I didn't get have Another Black Wire on the desk.

Now comes the scary part where I actually plug it into an Amiga, even though I've checked the voltages are on the right pins many, many times.
