Would this type of RAM work?
I can source myself a memory with 4 of these on. Would that work?
4 pcs NEC 4218160-60 42-pin (2 x 21) chip on a 8MB EDO module. Datasheet says 16 M-Bit Dynamic RAM, 1 M-word by 16-bit fast page mode, byte read/write mode, 5V power supply. Thanks. Last edited by Andreaux; 04 July 2018 at 11:42. |

Is there a way to use this trapdoor expansion along with MegAChip/similar to get to full 2mb Chip + some Slow RAM in A500 (rev 5, if that matters)

They are required to reduce voltage undershoot (& overshoot) at the RAM chips (worse on early Amigas rev3 & rev5). Undershoot & overshoot can affect reliability and if too great will damage the RAM (which is why they are fitted on the Commodore A501). |

When I try to test memory with MBRTest-2 v1.22, it reports "Inhibiting mounted volumes..." and doesn't do anything

Sorry for my late response. I'm refering to the CAS and RAS signals, also refer as Refresh "Feature" by Commodore, using a 74F27, 74F86 and a 74LS163A or 74ACT00 and 74ACT273 by Techtravels. You can find more information by those links http://www.amigawiki.org/dnl/schematics/A500_R6.pdf by Amigawiki.org and or https://www.techtravels.org/a500-dram-card/ by Techtravels. I know you made some refresh in your GAL program, my doubt is they will work like Commodore design? regards, 1NOM155 |

OK, I follow. Yes the OCS Agnus only generates refresh on (BDR)A0-A7 and not A8, hence the extra circuitry. Not all DRAM chips require the same refresh row count but many xx256 need all 512 rows visiting hence the extra logic for A8 refresh generation on A501. So if you have an OCS Agnus and fit RAM which require 512 rows refresh then you will have a problem. ECS Agnus generates A8 on refresh I understand. My board uses CBR refresh (CAS before RAS) to solve the problem, so it works with OCS or ECS the same. Chris |

Pete,
Are any of the Gerbers you have linked to here the same as the ones you use to make the expansions you are selling on eBay? |

Hm, if i have an A500 with damaged onboard-ram ...is it possible to use this expansion as replacement for the damaged onboard ram if i desolder all amiga onboard ram chips ?
Btw...i've finished soldering 2 ramexpansions fully loaded with ram...all is working nice. Excellent ramexpansion. |

I've built my two expansions exactly with these rams, working excellent But all of those you've listed should work. If they're not working, something is wrong with soldering or one or more rams you've soldered are damaged rams. Test them in old PC if you can before picking the rams from simm! This way, i've found 2 damaged EDO 72pin simm out of, puh, around 60 tested 72pin EDO simm. |
