Hey Chris, so I did this mod recently on my Rev 6A A500 and as it turns out, with the same AmigaKit 512kb board. I did the mod near the ROM, and then removed (or was it added) the jumper on the mem board, and it got me 1MB of Chip Ram. So I dont think cutting the pads near the trapdoor is needed, but I guess it just makes it 1MB hard wired. If you solder that back, I beleive you can then use the mem boards jumper to toggle it. Any what the heck happened to that machines pads. It was NOT a hard mod to make, looks like someone had at it with an ice pick... Kudos to the channel, I learn so much from ye wizardly manouvers!

Chris, I got a bunch of spare chips which I don't need, mostly from A500...let me know if you have a use for them since shipping wouldn't be that cheap from Germania...Fun Fact for PiStorm pimped A500 Rev6A, you only need to set move_slow_to_chip in config.txt without any soldering to have 1 MB of Chip too...

Did Mac and PC users, at the time of the Amiga, have to modify their computers in a similar fashion as the Amiga, like cutting traces/soldering on the boards?

Nope they are troglodytes that only follow their leader with less powered machines and no knowledge

If Epictronics and Necroware has taught me anything, it's that this kind of rework is common on all platforms. Especially when Vartas are involved.
