Just a gentle reminder to all those that have these A501
cheese expansions fitted to their Amiga 500s. Be aware...
NO !!! BE AFRAID VERY AFRAID that the unit has inside of
it a barrel battery that truly should be removed. I am
not absolutely sure why Commodore chose to place the
card inside a metal box. But, in doing so they have hidden
a problem that could be eating away your card. So check
The metal box that hides the A501 card
The card with the battery removed
Evidence of the earlier battery damage
A501's I have that are mint in their
original boxes.. And sadly still have the battery
Digging around I found the image of the
card when it had the battery inside. YUK !
