Tempest Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 While digging through my ST stuff today I came across two of these boards: Given the copyright date on them, I'm guessing they're 4MB Falcon memory boards. However since I've never seen the inside of a Falcon before, I can't be sure. Also, how many memory slots does a Falcon have? Could I put two of these in one and get 8MB?

Rybags Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 51440 seems to be the code for 4x1 megabit RAM. Guessing the 80 means 80 ns latency. http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/CA401292 Try Google for that part number - CA401292 - a few pages turn up.

Christos Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I can confirm to you that this is a 4 MB ram card for the falcon. You can't mount two of them though on a falcon. Best is to get a 14 MB ram card from another source or bulid your own, if you are good with these kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one spot, sorry That's what I said in effect. 8 chips, each one containing half a meg (1megabit, accessed 4 bits at a time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you modify the 4MB board for more memory or am I better off getting a separate board? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petr used to make them but I am not sure if he still does. You will need to contact him. Price was 40 Euros. Alternatively, schematics for an adapter can be found here under CTR 14. Hope this helps.

But he is also busy with his twins and his free time for making hardware is not as in the past. He is also working on PhantomS. I talked with him yesterday and he hopes the improovemets in design will be ready after Xmass Edited November 25, 2007 by krupkaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last e-mail I got from Petr was a while ago and he told me that I was in, like, the top of his list. When I get it I'll let you guys know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
