Actually, the A590 wants 4x256K CMOS DRAM chips in the 80-120ns range.
(I'd suggest getting all the same speed -- Murphy is my co-pilot. 8^)
Several manufacturers produce these under a variety of numbers. The
chips cost US $10-12, depending on where you go.
The A590 uses a jumper to indicate one of four configurations:
"Amnesia" No memory installed.
512KB 4 chips installed in the designated sockets. ( 4)
1MB The above, plus 4 more chips in designated sockets. ( 8)
2MB The above, plus 8 more chips in the remaining sockets. (16)

I thought I saw an advert for 256Kx4 DRAM for about US $6.50 per chip
in the latest Amiga World or BYTE (can't remember now).
If anyone is interested I'll look tonight and post name and phone of
the dealer offering this price.

| 4324.3 | check out surplus supliers and computer fairs

| You can often find better prices in computer fairs or from surplus
supliers. I got mine at a computer fair in Marlboro for $5. They worked in
my A590 without incident.

| The A590 uses the same RAM chips as the A2091. I'm pretty sure these
were discussed in this conference several months back...

| 4324.5 | We have it now! | UFHIS::JMASLEN | The wheels fallen off your day yet?! | Thu Jan 03 1991 04:38 | 5 |
| For anyone else interested!
I eventually bought SIEMENS (West Germany) 514256, 70ns chips. Cost
ended up at around DM200 for 2MB. No problems so far........

| Another collegue opened up his 590 (thanks Sorin!) and had KM 44C256-8
003 chips in his unit, he bought them in the USA.
