10ns zip ram

Big Thanx

Very unlikely that it is 10ns.

Most likely it is 100ns

Isn't this a prb.Hardware thread?

Yes ;)

amiga memory
 

i got toshiba zip memory tc514400z-10 will this zip memory work in my 3000:crazy

Try it, if it doesn't you'll know.

-10 = 100ns btw.

I found myself the other day those "-10" chips and was happy as hell, until i found a description of these values :)

I'll check the A3000 manual for the suitable RAM chips and return later today. :)

As you have the manual, read the section 4, page 13 to 17.

The 100ns memory will not work in the A3000 (must be 80ns or less). Also you cannot mix DIL chips with ZIP ones.

On page 4-17 you'll find the suitable chips you can use.
