Amiga 3000 RAM - How To Identify
« on: July 15, 2015, 01:55:11 PM »
I have some RAM (4 PACKS OF 8 ZIP CHIPS EACH) from A3000's I used to have but I don't remember how much each actually is :/ - can someone tell me how to identify the quantity based on the chip markings?

(2) Qty 8: TC514256AZ-80

(1) Qty 8: KM44C258AZ-8

(1) Qty 1: TC514256AZ-80 ;  Qty 7: KM44C258AZ-8

Thanks.

Each chip is 128kB (256k x 4bits).

Those xx258xx ones are static column I think (supporting burst).

Avoid mixing these chips (xx514256 with xx514258 and/or 70ns with 80ns) inside the Amiga 3000. For example, my DENEB card doen't like the different chips manufacturers mounted on the A3000 motherboard (FastRam).
