Well, an amateurish acceleration project seems to have once been in progress.
The CPU has been replaced with a 16 MHz one. The memory seems to have been
patched for maximum chip memory, which is the sound thing to do, since this is
one of the earliest revisions, with a C= key instead of the LAmiga key.
The keyboard cable's been lengthened with a piece of ribbon cable and there's
a new transformer in some kind of small 5?" housing.
There are two switches on the outside, I think one is connected to a Kickstart
switch whereas the other one goes nowhere. Perhaps was it once part of the
accelerator project?
There is a socket piggy-backed on one of the RAM chips. Lots of pins on
various chips have been broken off and then resoldered.
What an ambitious owner.
