SRAM Question

Lorfarius · 20 January 2010, 11:40

Anyone know if one of these will work in an A600:

While I do not own one they specs say they are type 1 or type 2 PCMCIA PC-Card SRAM which do work in A600/A1200.

£100 for 4 (£25 each) is a reasonable price too, and I see he's selling two more lots

Thanks

I've just contacted him and he's agreed to sell me one at £25 and is planning to split them into seperate auctions. All this just to get ATrain working in high resolution mode

Nice find

Cammy · 20 January 2010, 21:11

Bummer, he only posts to UK

I'd grab one of those in a second if I could, great find Lorfarius.

Hi Cammy,

I have also contacted the seller through my eBay account asking whether he is prepared to sell the cards individually (no answer yet). Would you like me to buy one on your behalf if he makes it possible for me to do so?

Lorfarius · 21 January 2010, 12:01

He seems to be ignoring my messages now. I suspect he's seen that daft auction at £46 and thinks they are all worth the same.

fitzsteve · 21 January 2010, 12:35

Lets hit 'buy it now' at £100 and divi up four of them

I'm sure I'll get a 600 eventually so might be worth grabbing one now if thats a good price.

If Cammy is in, we could all paypal Prowler a £25 gift? (If thats ok with you prowler)

prowler · 21 January 2010, 12:39

Actually, Steve, that might not be a bad idea. I'd take two of them (one for Cammy and one for me

).

I'll just check my eBay first to see if I've got a response...

Edit: No, nothing!

Lorfarius · 21 January 2010, 12:46

When he first replied it was at about this time he replied so give him a bit longer just in case he's at work and can't get online till lunch. I'm umming and aahing a bit now, considering buying an A1200

Been looking at AmigaKits available models.

He seems to have only two lots in total (i.e. 8 cards) available now, so maybe he's already sold one lot...

We may have to move fast on this, but I don't want to get stuck with four of them!

Lorfarius · 21 January 2010, 12:53

PM sent Prowler

fitzsteve · 21 January 2010, 12:57

@prowler if you go decide to go ahead PM me your paypal and I'll get 25 notes over to you!

prowler · 21 January 2010, 13:08

Okay, that makes three of us. I only need Cammy to give me the nod and I'll go ahead...

BTW, I've never used one of these devices before. Does anyone know how I could test them quickly in my A1200 when I receive them?

I understand you just need to use 'prepcard' to prepare it as ram.

prowler · 21 January 2010, 13:55

Thanks for that, Steve!

Apparently, prepcard is included with WB 2.0+, and I've found two related threads on PCMCIA SRAM cards and prepcard:
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=20656
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=37885

I've got to go now. I'm still a bit concerned that I haven't received a reply from the seller of those cards, but perhaps it's still a bit too early for that.

Maybe this evening, Cammy will have confirmed her interest and we can go ahead regardless.

fitzsteve · 21 January 2010, 14:15

He's got 100% feedback so I am sure he is genuine, beside he lives near us Prowler, we can send the heavies round

Okay, I have now received a reply from the seller of the 2MB SRAM cards.

He is willing to sell them individually. Here is the link for the new listing:

@Cammy: Do you wish me to get one for you?

Lorfarius · 21 January 2010, 14:43

He has just replied to me on ebay as well selling them at £26 a time including P+P
