I too have a DKB3128. I too have double sided 16 chip Kingston KTM7318/64 EDO SIMMS and like you I also only get 64Mbytes of RAM.

(Nice to know someone else has the same problem and my DKB3128 isnt screwed!)

I tried a mix and match of SIMMS to try and get above the 64Mbytes but no luck (BTW: You need the software installed to mix and match SIMMS)

I have an Amiga 4000, buster 11 etc.

I contacted the Creator of the DKB3128 "Dean Brown" and he assured me that everything should work.

I keep meaning to try and get some Fast-Page-Mode (FPM) Simms instead of EDO see if they are any better.

It's definately these SIMMS I fear. I payed £8 each for my SIMMS so I didnt want to replace them straight away.

So, you actually contacted the maker of the board himself? How did you find him?


His name is all over USENET as the creator of the DKB3128 board and worked at DKB, he is (was) employed recently at Amiga Inc. which is where I emailed him.

It is unlikely that I will be able to get any FPM simms in the near future, but I would like to know if you make them work.

You can contact me through my webpage Thalion Webshrine

P.S. My Ebay name is also alexh so if you see me bidding on some FPM simms please dont out bid ;-)

I thought about that... took all my other cards (cept my gfx card) and moved the DKB3128 around... no help and I cut my fingers several times getting the board in and out :bigcry:

I am almost positive that it's these SIMMS, the fact we both have identical ones and we are both seeing 64Mb.

However it couldnt hurt to try moving your DKB3128 around BEFORE buying some FPM SIMMS
