It's a memory expansion (+1MB Chip RAM) including Real time clock.
Guess I should have been more specific in my question, I realise what the purpose of the card is, just wondered if someone could tell me the make/model.
This is for an A500 though, not an A600.
Unlikely to be for an A500+ too as all 1 MB expansions I've seen carried 8 chips.
EDIT: It's a Datalux model, the SV-7xx names are characteristic of their Amiga product line. I have an SV-702 here and it's an external floppy drive.
EDIT2: Here it is
EDIT3: Well, it's not identical, your card is apparently a later revision using SMT RAM chips and not DIP ones as the one pictured. The Datalux logo is missing as well, might be an unbranded clone, but the SV-701 code is unmistakable. They were based in Germany.
Nice find BLTCON0 :thumbsup:
Interestingly this model uses SOJ chips and not DIP.... hmmm
Thanks a lot, now just to see if I can clean it up properly or not
@Zetr0
Interesting indeed. I feel I've seen this kind of chips on Amiga stuff before but I'm close to brain-mush now and can't put any usable thought together :coffee:
Thanks BLTCON0!
I also have this strange little card in my spare part bin and I never found out who definitely built it.
You are right, SV-701 points to DataLux. According to google they obviously sold different versions of a 512k RAM extension under the SV-701 brand, so why not this one.
The "funny" thing is: The leaking battery did almost the same pattern of damage to the pcb of my card :Doh:
NP mate. Take a photo of the damage, it should be interesting!
Here you are :p
