Hi.
I need ZIP RAM to upgrade my A2386 to 8 MB (currently seems to have only 2 MB). I do not know much about those RAM modules, so please explain what modules you can offer.
Alternatively, i could use a SIMM to ZIP adapter (it seems that DJBase has designed some lately).
Thanks for your help.
The ZIP to SIMM adapter is only for the A3000(T), mate.
Is that so? I don't know for what purpose he made those adapters.
So, i emphatize the search of the ZIP RAMS themselves:
need 1Mx4 ZIP * 16 chips to get 8 MB.
Realistic price please. Possible swaps whith other hardware.
If you have any clue about hardware suitable to scavenger those ZIP, advices are welcome :-)
I have an Alfapower 500 expansion that i've given up with! It contains a full 8mb of RAM using 16 ZIP chips. I'm sure someone here will be able to confirm if my ZIP RAM will work in your bridgeboard.
I'm not too sure what a realistic price is for all 8mb of my ZIP RAM?... I will have to decide if it's better to sell the Alfapower 500 whole or split it (i can't get CF cards to work properly with it but the ZIP RAM is fully working). It cost me a fair amount to buy the unit but i know i'll never make my money back on it :dry:
Yeah, won't be bad as i could use the ZIP from this device and the empty case as well (i need to mod a side-case to fit a zorro adapter, a Highway USB board and a Norway ethernet module for my A500+). Someone else could still have the board itself.Quote:

Here's some photo's of the Alfapower unit with 8mb ZIP RAM installed. As far as i can tell the ZIP RAM is 1MX4, Fast Page Mode, 70ns :)
The Alfapower's black edge connector seems to be blending in with my black desk and one of the previous owners did the re-wiring job :roll:.
Payment has been sent to Powerpied5000 for the whole lot :)
Payment recieved and i will get it shipped out to Amibay member "Cosmos" as requested, Cheers :thumbsup:Quote:
