A replacement board for the 2 DRAM chips on C64 and C64c boards 250466 and 250469 is now available.
This little board replaces the two 64k x 4 bits DRAM ICs with a single static RAM IC. Accordingly it consumes only a trickle amount of power, about 5mA. It also acts as a VSP bug fixer.
The product's name is SaRuMan-64 and it costs 13.25$US or 12 Euros.
Get 20% off when you order 5, 25% off when you order 10 or more. Distributor pricing on 25 units or more.
Shipping cost is the same as with PLAnkton; shipping a small packet (up to 12 units) to the US is 8$. Shipping cost for Europe, Australia and South America is 10$US or 8 Euros.
The product is strictly shipped with antistatic protective packaging. It is covered by a 90 days money back guarantee and a 3 year replacement guarantee afterwards.
What you'll receive.
More than 200 units sold!
