The A600 is probably the least expandable Amiga model of them all.  Its small and compact size has the advantage of taking up less room than any other model, while retaining the same features and capacities of the older A500+ model.  There are however still quite a few upgraded that can be added to the A600 to expand it.

===Expansion Ports===

* Trapdoor Memory slot
+
-
The trapdoor slot was designed specifically for the A601 1MB Chip ram expansion card.  This upgraded the A600 to 2MB of chip ram which is very useful for productivity software.

-
* Internal 2.5" IDE Port
+
-
This port is designed for a laptop style 2.5" Harddrive.  To use this port the A600 must have a kickstart 2.05 rom with a version number of 37.500.

* PCMCIA slot
+
-
The PCMCIA card slot on the side of the A600 can be used for a selection of upgrades for the A600

===Custom upgrades===

-
In addition to the upgrades possible with the A600 using the built in expansion ports, some third party developers also created upgraded that connected directly to the A600's motherboard, allowing upgrades beyond the original design of the A600.
