Building, testing and hitting problems with a CHEAP Amiga 600 ACCELERATOR

The Amiga 600 seems to be often forgotten about in the world of Amiga accelerators. Yeah there is the furia or the pistorm (and something called a vampire) but comparing to the other machines in the range the choice is certainly limited. Or thats what I thought anyway then browsing github one day I stumbled across this little accelerator project.

A basic accelerator offering just 1.5MB of additional ranger ram paired with a 40mhz 68k CPU but the beauty of its simplicity is that you can build one for under £15.

The trick though seems to be getting it to work!!! If anyone has any ideas why the first one I built has that weird error please let me know in the comments.
