A friend of mine has an A500plus in Perth, West Aust.  He told me about it
yesterday, It has a revision 8 motherboard, KS2.04 on rom, a smaller, cleaner
motherboard, 1 meg chip, an 8375 agnus, and the rest of the ECS, and it
has an Epson floppy drive in it instead of the Chinnon FB-354's.

He also told me that the rom socket has address lines for 1 megabyte roms!!!!
The things that make you go hmmmm.... :-)
