« on: May 23, 2018, 12:45:39 PM »

Now, these memory chips are used for an Amiga 500 chip RAM expansion, its a 512 KB trapdoor memory expansion. 
 
The results are these:
 

 

 
 
and the working results are these:
 
 

 
 
For Amiga 500+
 

 
 
 
For Amiga 500
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
I manufactured several of these, available at supermarket; these memory modules are hand manufactured at my home in Spain     and tested prior to be sent. These are sent on tracked packages also for international destinations.
 
The module includes short-circuit protection resistances and enable/disable switch.



Memory tests passed to the trapdoor memories,


Memory Test program:

Price is 21€ per unit (around 24.6 $  USD ); Spain tracked package cost 4€ and Intenational tracked cost 6.1 €
