View submission: I'm still struggling understanding RAM types/upgrades for OCS 500.
I have no idea, and don't think I need to. When I got my 500 there was a bunch of software that wouldn't run. I bought a 512k expansion (trapdoor) from Amigakit and now everything runs nicely. The point is it's not that complicated.
