128MB ram in Blizzard 1230-IV BIGMODULE?

BarrySWE · 26 October 2005, 11:35

Yes, as you all know, i have an blizzard 1240card , but only using 128mb of the ram because of a BIG cooler ;-)
today i was thinkig of mounting the ram on my blizzard 1230-iv , to get 128mb ram on it... but... the memory module is to big, and the "CPU" is in the way.. so i wonder is there any Smaller 128Mb memory modules, or can i "mod" the memory slot?

You can be lucky to find smaller 128 MB memory modules, but don't expect them to be cheap. You can mod the Blizzard 1230-IV to have a 45 degree ram socket instead by simply replacing the ram socket with the right one.

A little violence maybe?

Use a rubber band. That's what I'm using on my 1260.

or just take a small notch out of the floppy drive mounting bracket (that's what I did for my 1.5x normal SIMM) with a file or dremel.
