- 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
