Title: Memory for sale,
Post by: mantisspider on October 31, 2003, 09:03:15 PM

Hi guys,

I got:
 2x 32Mb SDRAM 133mhz chips
 2x 16Mb
 2x 8Mb
all 72pin

any offers?

i will either sell it or find a good use for them. they were in anti-static bags in a box :-D woohooo i love finding mysterious boxes.

hmmmmm guys, can i replace the 8mb 72pin from my FPU with one of these 32mb rams? or are they programmed to work with only what comes with them as standard? (no overclocking? no hacking? what kind of world is this?)

cheers!

RAM on the FPU ? WTF ?????

Somehow I would think that you talk about some accelerator, but
without further info it's a bit hard tell.

What Amiga-modell ? What CPU ? Any printings on the board ?

:-D

Not very helpful  ......

No this is what I assume:
A memory-card for the A1200, with FPU, but without CPU.

In that case: 8mb is the absolute maximum.

hi dude,

PCB Says: A1200 8Mb RAM/FPU/RTC

Motorola chip says:
MC68882FN33A
1C12R
QEYS9229

oooh but the memory is on a seperate 72pin Ram board. would sticking a 32Mb in its place blow the board?

Might not blow the board, but it means the main chip is still the EC020 on the motherboard, which has a maximum addressable RAM of 8Mb. Stick with the 8Mb SIMM, or get an accelerator.

Well a 68040 should be able to take more RAM, assuming it is not
one of those #?%$§ GVP-cards which need special RAM, or something
so old/odd it would take ZIPs or 8bit SIMMs ....

Again, better description would help.

This one ? (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/apollo4040.html)

Seems you could add up to 3 more 32mb-modules to it.

No mention off jumpering for a certain mem-config.

@Kronos

he was speaking about an A1200, so i think should be an Apollo 1240.

Apollo 1240 (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/apollo1240.html)

yes my italian friend is correct, thats the one.

i love the llook of the 3040 though, makes me very jealous.

I found my Amiga light pen. how i loved that pen.
