Not sure what form these come in, but I'm after a RAM expansion for my Acorn Archimedes A3010.

I live in the UK, in Northampton (which is in my profile anyway)

Thank

doing a google for a3010 ram comes up with some interesting reading on the matter, including a warning/caution about the same :shock:

@guys

The A3010 can be expanded on board by the installation of suitable ZIP rams into the sockets already available on the Motherboard (bottom right side). Max on board RAM is 2MB after the upgrade, which is more than enough for RISC OS, even allows proper use of the PC Emulator.
The 4MB Miniboard option was rare enough in it's day, it's near impossible to find now.

I upgraded my A3010 to 2MB some 10 years ago & no longer use it so if you cannot source any I may be easily talked into removing the RAM for you... or sending the A3010.. Whichever :LOL:


@Imno what cautions did you find disturbing my friend....I'm intrigued


Keep us posted.

The google header reads like this..

[PDF] WARNING! CAUTION! Fitting the upgrade to the A3010 Fitting the ...File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat
of the Welcome Guide to gain access to the RAM upgrade sockets. Do not ... A3010 read carefully the appendix 'Inside the computer' in the 'Welcome Guide'. ...

I turns out it is just static and hazard warnings, I didn't venture inside the link before :mrgreen:

@woodycool

I'm happy to sell the A3010 with the extra RAM included (2MB total)
These machines do come alive with that extra 1MB it has to be said.
The system is fully functional & in pretty good nick, stable & all ports working.
I can upload a photo for you if you like...
There is no Mouse however as I'm using that with my A3020 but they are quite easy to find.

You can either take the RAM over to your A3010 or swap the Mobo's or just use my A3010 instead & keep your existing for spares.
I've even got a photocopied manual if you want it too.

There is even a user / Midi port podule installed whch I will leave in place. or you can have a User port / Analogue joystick port podule instead.... If you want you can have them both for no extra cost. 8)

How about £20 for the Hardware & courier delivery via parcel2go £8
You can pay by paypal & I'll absorb the fees or pay as a gift, your choice..
If you are interested please let me know...

Best Wishes
TC :wink:
