A600 memory expansion options?

[BenShep]

Once upon a time I heard about an Apollo 630 reproduction.. never eventuated (sadly) though.

Once thing I wouldn't mind clarified - what PCMCIA cards are usable as RAM in an a600? There are several types of 4MB cards out there - linear flash, sram, cisco ones, etc - some are cheaper than others - do all work?

Well the 030 and the ram expansion - I think the idea is to make the a600 a reasonably useable machine - rather than an a500 with a pcmcia port + hd.  

The Apollo 630 is notorious for being shabbily built and tricky to install - which is a bit of an unwelcome risk considering it's price.  It would be nice to have an alternative, even if it worked out to equal cost.

It's the form factor of the a600 which makes it so appealing and worth upgrading IMO.

Not to say that a killy clip type ram expansion wouldn't be welcome (if cheap enough) however.

I hear people saying that newton cards are useable as RAM - but most (Apple branded) cards which I have seen are Newton Linear Flash cards, which I suppose makes them inappropriate?  

If anyone knows which specific cards are suitable (i.e. perhaps the card which is currently being used) could they please post information about them?
