Half-length Zorro II RAM

I seem to recall that a number of boards like this appeared on the market in recent years. Didn't need one at the time, but now I'm considering one. Can anyone point me to a shop that has some in stock?

You have two choices:

1) the BigRAM Plus (2019)
https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/produ...igramplus.html

https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-...6-MB::565.html

2) ZorRAM
https://amigakit.amiga.store/zorram-p-958.html

The ZorRAM seems to be out of stock, so the BigRAM Plus is probably your best bet, right now.

I have neither, so I am not sure if one is particularly better than the other one.

That's what I get for not reading properly

For Zorro II:

1) ZoRAM
https://www.tindie.com/products/retr...-zorro-ii-2-2/

2) ZRAM 8
https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-...sion::986.html

https://amigastore.eu/707-zram-8.html

https://www.amedia-computer.com/en/r...miga-2000.html

3) ZorRAM A2000
http://amigakit.amiga.store/zorram-a...n-p-12695.html

Looks like only the first one is available for order, right now.

You may also want to look into the GottaGoFastRAM, even if it's not Zorro II, as it's cheaper.

@ jbenam

Perfect, thank you for that list. I need something that can be jumpered to various amounts of RAM, so I think I'll need to wait until supplies of the ZRAM 8 are more available.

If you're into DIY or you have someone that can build it for you, the GottaGoFastRAM2000 is another nice option:

https://github.com/LIV2/GottaGoFastRAM2000

The firmware also automagically allocates the maximum amount of RAM available, so no jumper is needed.

Far beyond my technical abilities to assemble, but thank you for the lead.
