Just how different are the pinouts of the two Agnus chips? Is it just a
matter of two or three pins, or is it a compleatly different package?
Could we buy a Rejuvinator, make a few cuts and jumps, and stack ram
chips and have a two meg chip ram A1000 or will the Rejuvinator need
to be relaid out?

I have no affiliation to the people who make the Rejuvinator, I just
wan't to know if I can buy now and hack later or if I must buy later.
