[net.micro.atari16] 1 meg ram chips in a 520 or 1040ST

ronc@fai.UUCP (Ronald O. Christian) (05/21/86)

Has anyone tried to put any of the new 1 Meg dynamic ram
chips in either the 520 or 1040 ST?  I'm specifically thinking
of the Fujitsu MB811000 1048,576 X 1 device.  I can get
them really cheap...  :-)  The big problem I see is that
it's an Nmos device and probably draws too much power.
Anyone have experience?

You might call Paul Swanson, (617) 663-4463 for an opinion.  He has done
numerous 520ST upgrades and knows what the problems are.  Paul is a 520ST
dealer, Atari service center, upgrade center, and peripheral/accessory dealer.
