Hello All,

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 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 think a gotek is a must.

do you recommend anything else?

thanks!
