The A5000 was configured with 1MB or 2MB options, like all MEMC1a based computers it has a maximum memory of 4MB per MEMC1a. Acorn produced this upgrade to increase the installed memory to the Maximum 4 MB on a 2MB system. The RAM Upgrade was installed in the front left of the computer and plugged into the connector on the front left hand edge. It was unusual in that it lay flat above the motherboard and underneath the hard disc. The non-socket end was supported on plastic legs.
