Where to find ZIP RAM? Or A2386SX schematics?

2) RAM chip! I need the 41464AZ08 ZIP RAM chips used for dual-porting! They're like hens teeth.

Were these used on any of the other BridgeBoards? (x86, x286)

The board is actually a 386 board that was taken by Elite Computer Systems ..

That company name rings an old dusty bell in my head, but I can't place them right now.

Were the schematics ever officially released?

Long long ago, before this web thing, we would do these types of discussions on something called 'usenet'. One of the designers of the 386 BB used to be on the comp.sys.amiga.hardware (I believe) group and would sometimes answer questions. Perhaps they could be tracked down now as a lead for the schematics.

it may be difficult to track him down now!

Yes, but this may be worth a try, sounds vaguely familiar

Oo what a shameless plug, resurrecting my thread from years ago.

Never did get that bloomin' bridgeboard working. Real shame, given it's one of the very few 486SLC-based A2386SXs....

Let's continue the resurrecting, bot the thread and your bloomin' bridgeboard! I hope to play with my bridgeboards after the summer season winds down; I think I have a couple copies of each type. There was even a printed magazine for Bridgeboard users, I may have the complete set - I should probably send them to they guy digitizing all the other Amiga mags.

Any other parts you need for it?
