Question Help identifying this A500 RAM Expansion

Hi All,

I received this A500 RAM expansion and I have no idea what it is or what manufacturer made it. It has what appears to be a 4 pin header at the top of the picture, you can see a jumper hanging off one pin. There is also a 2 pin header next to the IC (Clock IC I think) but it is hard to tell from the pic. I will upload a different one later tonight.

It has no writing on it, and I was told it may not work. I haven't plugged it in as I need to clean it and it looks like it may have some battery damage. I think there was a barrel type battery installed, based on the outline near the clock chip.

If anyone knows what Expansion this is and had a manual or something to explain what the pins/jumpers are for that would be great.

UPDATE: I have added three pics. Top, Bottom and ZIP Chips.

Thanks!
ZZ

A couple more details: It came out of an A500 Rev 6. I need to look at the chips but it looks like it might be more than a meg.

Thanks

Could you show the bottom side?

The pinout http://www.datasheetdir.com/MSM62X42...ime-Clocks-RTC

Shows pin 9 is ground and pin 18 voltage in. When you find a pin that corresponds to ground, the one connected to pin 18 is the power in.

1Mx1 chips.. Seems like a 2MB ranger fast expansion board. A gary board is needed to make it work.
