[EdKing]

Does anyone know what type of memory the Picasso II graphics board uses ?
I want to upgrade my board to 2 Meg.

After the last fiassco of ordering something from you, thanks, but no thanks.
I got the disks, I thought I was purchasing originals, not copies.

Thanks for the tip, I have a few old boards around.

If you look at my original request, I asked for a set of WB2.1 disks, not copies.
I could download pirated copies from the internet. Like I said earlier, I wish I
had known what a clown you were, I would never have sent you the money.

Once again, thanks for the tip, I found a few graphics boards in my computer
junk and got enough chips to make my Picasso II a 2 meg card.

Proud of it too. Just think of all the money I have saved through the decades.

It is one thing to copy software illegally, it is another to sell illegal copies to someone. I am not commenting anymore as I don't wan't to enter a flame war with a CLOWN like you.

Edking, can you tell us from what (ISA?) graphics cards did RAM chips work on Picasso II? (manufacturer, model, RAM size..)

I don't remember the cards (I am at work right now, will post the cards tonight) but the chip numbers were 4c4256-7 on one, and 4c4256-70 on the other. After I installed them I used a program from Aminet (don't remember name, will post tonight) to add the picasso mem as fast mem, then used GVP's memtest to test the ram. The test passed, and the Picasso is working fine now.

The one board is a Diamond Computer Systems SpeedStar VGA board, the other is a Cirrus Logic VGA
board, made for Compudyne, Part no 1X0-0203-607.

The software from Aminet for using the Picasso memory as fastram is apm3311.lha.
