Title: Micrbotics A1200 CPU card... 128mb EDO RAM?
Post by: Crom00 on November 14, 2008, 07:00:47 PM

Hi can the A1200 Microbotics MX1230 support up to 128 mb 72 pin simms 40-100ns EDO ram? What about ECC ram?

The card was made before EDO ram so I dunno if this is possible.

Bad english, learned loonng time ago:
I worked with this card a few times ago:
On the card were a 128Mb fpm 32x36 72pin memory, ecc
with 60ns.
It works fine. I have in my head, that the ram must be
defined over the software. I put on 128Mb via the
software and when the memory was only 32 or deeper it shows the correct size.

 I have 128Mb on mine MBX1230XA. Works perfectly.

 The memory bank is EDO, of course. Just watch out: there exists some 3.3V memory sticks around who will fry the memory controller.

 But those are easy to spot: they have a square chip on the middle of the SIMM.

Just got the MX1230, after I run the enble memory utility, I get the full 8 megs but I also get garbled newicons on my workbench, all the 4 color icons are fine. What's going on here?
