[net.micro.atari8] 1 MEG ram boards

PPGCU@CUNYVM.BITNET (Peter P. Gioia) (05/29/86)

Hi everyone! This is my first try at putting anything up, so here goes...

Has anyone tried, bought, heard about the AXLON compatible boards for the
good old 800's?  I've heard of two so far. One from a company called MAGNA
systems and one from ECLIPSE (the TOP-DOS people).  They are a replacement
for the second 16K ram board in the 800.  And come in 256K ($149), 512K
($199), and 1 full meg (magna-$249, eclipse-$299).
I'd be very greatful to anyone with any extra info, thanks.

Concerning the two AXLON compatible ramboards: the one from ECLIPSE is a
hand wired kludge. The one from Magna is a completely redesigned, multilayer
board. This information is from Magna but I believe it is accurate.
