Closed 8mb memory SiMM for my expansion card.

[zmiennik]

Looking for a 72 pin, 8mb SIMM can be also 16mb probably (I know it will be only 8mb available)
For my expansion card from this thread:
https://www.amibay.com/showthread.p...xpansion-possible-easy-upgrade-to-8mb-and-FPU

condition:
it has to be really cheap

or just an info what exactly I am to look for?
EDO or not, etc... I am not sure which one will definitely fit the card.
Thank you.

Hi,

I can do one for a fiver inc postage

Steve.

(I can send an 8mb and 16mb just in case)

For info the M1207 (aka amitek hawk) needs jumpers to be reconfigured to change the ram size, and the board is very picky with 8mb modules (see this thread for example).
I can only get 4MB working on my M1207. (A single sided module that came with the board). I've tried two double sided 8MB modules so far without luck.

Not sure what is required but I've seen a picture of one with a single sided 8mb module working. And some guy got 8mb working using a double sided 16mb module IIRC.
I would try a single sided 8mb and double sided 16mb module if you have that. EDO or FPM should't matter I think.

Cheers,
Frode

@fitzsteve - PM sent m8!
@frodegh - thanks very much for the info mate! However, I suspect that the guy from the thread had a faulty card. Not sure tho, but quick search gave me 2 results with pictures of the allegedly working 8mb cards, so we can be sure that those SiMMs definitely works! Well at least in M1207.
