i need to order a video cable as well. i have some old CRTs with RGB/VGA and a 1802 monitor as well. which one are you using: scart/svideo/vga/rgb
i've bought an amiga 500 and i would like to pimp it a little bit,
but i am not an expert, so please help with some advice.
i see that there is a 'trapdoor' ram and theres fastram. should i
buy both, or a trapdoor ram is enough? i see that there are several different trapdoor rams, like 512K, 1M, 2M+. i would like to try
games, but maybe later i will set up a BBS on it which i bet needs
more RAM.

i think a gotek is a must.

The TrapDoor can only handle 512k like someone else mentioned which
would bring you up to 1M memory..
As for monitors, not sure what you can use I gave away my A500 7 years
ago (Still kicking myself in the ass for doing that!!) But going from
C64 Scart is the way to go as it gives you the best quality on a LCD monitor.
Before you spend any crazy money on Gotek's or CPU upgrades, look into
the RaspberryPi upgrades for the Amiga's, Google it I know MTNClimber
from CIAAmiga.org BBS installed one in his A1000 and now it is like
night and day speed, memory, drive wise. I belive with the SD card in
the pi you can ssh into it and put adf images on it and access them
via the Amiga side like you would a Gotek drive..
With all this new stuff available now for the Amiga I wish I never
gave mine away as it was practically brand new as I only used it a
couple of years before I went with an A3000. Google the pi solutions
and see what you come up with..

do you recommend anything else?
thanks!

i don't like involving a raspberry with my retro projects. i use them a lot in other daily stuff, so it's nothing personal with the Pi. :)
do you recommend anything else?
