Edit: oops, was too quick.
Find eight pieces of 1Mx4 ZIPs and populate the second bank. You will lose access to the PCMCIA slot unless you patch your card.resource. |

Re Amibay:
It is made from a company made Zydec but it is not listed.I cannot find it in amiga-hardware or amiga-resource. On the back it says FPU 1208 ZIP V2- A1200 ACCELERATOR - (C) J.WILLIAMS 1993,1994 In the front it has a slot for FPU PLLC & PGA and a slot for crystal. On the back it has 16 banks(B1&B2) for zip ram. On the front it has the following remarks : FIT 8 256K X 4 ZIPS B1 FOR 1MB THEN FIT B2 ZIPS TO MAKE 2MB OR FIT 8 1MB X 4 ZIPS B1 FOR 4MB THEN FIT B2 ZIPS TO MAKE 8MB So it can give you a total of 8mb memory. You do need similar zip rams that it has already - something like 514400 8pcs. |

True, 3.0 has the old 37.11 card.resource.
Was it a bug that card.resource allows overlapping cards or was it a bug that they fixed the overlap problem to also shut up cards that don't overlap.. Ah well. |

Thanks for the info peeps but it looks like its going to be hard to get hold of the 8 pieces 1mx4 zips to upgrade to 8mb
im running 3.0 and have the 3.1 and was going to swoop them but if i do manage to upgrade will just leave the 3.0 ones in as i dont know how to patch the card. i had the motherboard recapped and the timing fixed. |
