RAM Setups
Mode 1: FastRAM expansion only
no CPU board needed, no soldering required
jumper JP2 on expansion main board set to "FAST"
Mode 2: FastRAM and 512kB ChipRAM expansion
no CPU board needed, but soldering required
JP2 on the A500 mainboard has to be cut and a cable has to be soldered that connects the middle pad of that jumper with JP3 on the Gary adaptor board
jumper JP2 on expansion main board set to "CHIP"
Mode 3: FastRAM and 512kB ChipRAM expansion
optional CPU board required, no soldering needed
the CPU board plugs into 68000 socket, the CPU is replaced onto the board
supplied cable connects the headers JP1 on CPU board and JP2 on Gary adaptor board
jumper JP2 on expansion main board set to "CHIP"
