WTB or Trade: 4mb pcmcia Sram Card

Zetr0 · 12 February 2007, 00:39

Hi guys

I am interested in getting hold of a 4MB pcmcia sram card

I can offer full cash or if your interested a part exchange with a 2MB pcmcia sram card

let the PM's err begin...

4MB sram cards are extremely hard to find at a 'fair' price.

Ive been sram hunting for about a year and got round to buying the 2mb equivalent for 15 posted.

In my experience, on ebay they can go to near the 50 mark.

Maybe you will find a seller willing to part with one for a reasonable amount.

Wanting to make your A600 workbench more fancy eh?

If you have a lot of money spare they're about £120 in old computer shops.. heh
(Or look online)

Are you definately after an SRAM card? I have the 'official' Amitek 4MB PCMCIA card, but that can be used as RAM only as it's not battery backed - I think these are more common.

Why not risk £20 and try a DRAM card

Thanks for the info guys!

@musashi5150
if you know of a common source of these then I am whole heartedly may have to hunt you down after the 6hour i-net seaarch yeasterday lol!

@alexh
good links... lets hope these dram cards are electrically compatible with the A600

I went on to purchase the $5 from ebay.... fingers crossed eh?

thanks for you help guys

If it REALLY is a PCMCIA card then it will be compatible.

However there are some custom cards out there which have the same form factor (shape) as PCMCIA cards but have non standard pin alignment / grooves down the edge. Sellers often mistake these cards for PCMCIA cards.

PCMCIA Type 2 cards have two rows of pins which are inline.

Some non standard cards have two rows of pins which are staggered. I have had some of these cards before (I'll sort out the names and numbers later).

Contact the seller and tell him that you have to withdraw because the item was listed incorrectly.

The item was listed incorrectly they cannot leave bad feedback and if they do you can get ebay to remove it.

Zetr0 · 12 February 2007, 14:03

@Alexh

I appreciate you looking out for me m8, and even though your right about the item listed incorrectly and the fact they cannot under ebay policy leave feedback in a negative way... i just dont want the hassle for 5$ .... £2.67... whats that a slice of bread a slice of cucumber and cheese in a railway station... (if your brave enough!)

I decided to take the proper plunge and plumed for the 4mb one form memoryx.net *fingers crossed*

Zetr0 · 12 February 2007, 14:10

Do you know if this card would fit an Amiga A600 or A1200 PCMCIA slot and act as 4 MEG Fast RAM?

I don't think it will because it's flash and not sram

Peter · 09 May 2007, 12:07

Hmmm. yeah I thought that might be the case... shame.
