Hello netters!
I am very interested in Zubair Interfaces' Z-RAM 3-D 4 Meg expansion
board. If anyone has it, could you tell me how you like it. Did you
install it yourself? How easy/hard is the installation? Will it easily
fit into an old 520 ST with an RF modulator and an EXternal drive? Any
information you send me will be greatly appreciated.
I would also like to thank all of you who send me email regarding my last
post. I have decided to go with a commercial product because I am afraid
that I would otherwise ruin my ST (I am nowhere near being a technical
person.
Thank you much!

It works great. I had to cut the power lines to the on board ram to get the thing to work. That process is outlined in the instructions. Placing the pin grid board over the MMU is no picnic, patience is a must! You should have and know how to use an ohmmeter. I cut off the cover of the video shifter box but the main RF shield was replaced intact. One problem you may have is that there is a large capacitor in the video shifter box that might have to be moved (different versions of the mother board). I moved it by de-soldering it and running two jumpers to its leads. It is still in the shifter box but now it lays flat. Would I do it again? Yes!! I hope this helps Bill Oswald aloft!wao
