Amiga 2000 Full 2MB ECS Upgrade Mod

In this video I'll show you how I not only added 1MB of chip ram to my Amiga 2000 to bring it to 2MB, but also completed the upgrade to be a complete ECS system! Its a fairly easy mod, although theres some desoldering required which isn't the easiest without a desolder station and good soldering skills. This mod could also be used on Amiga 500s too. Might have overdone the montages again!
