Any C-128 users?
« on: May 23, 2013, 03:02:59 PM »
The 64K VDC RAM board for the C-128 is being sold on ebay:

Not my sale, but I have bought from this seller. Excellent seller.
True, you can solder in the new RAM chips, but this board makes it SO easy.

I use GEOS 128, so that extra RAM was a real help, even with my 2Mb REU. I also still use CP/M with dBase 2.
I know the two chips that need to be changed to add the 64K VDC RAM are not hard to change - but I'm getting lazy in my old age. This board was a real easy fix.
