[sci.electronics] DRAM configuration

paravia@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Mark David Kakatsch) (08/04/89)

A friend of mine recently got a hold of quite a few(>100) of what appear to
be 256K DRAM chips. Its part number is MB81256-15, which I assume to be a
256K*1 DRAM. I put 8 of these, selected at random, into my Ramworks III
card. The memory wasn't recognized, however, the RAM test program I have
recognized that there were chips in the sockets occupied by the 81256. The
chip is made by Fujitsu(It says Japan on it, and has an 'F' w/ a line on top
of and on bottom of it). Any ideas as to why they won't work?(I tried other
samples of 8 w/ the same results). Are they 64K*4, or some other such
combination? Thanks much...

Mark

Your parts are 256K by 1 page mode devices with 150 nS access time.
They have the normal pinout for such parts.  They may be too slow
for your application, I've run into similiar problems scrounging
RAM for PCs.

Good luck,

Gordon
