I bought a zenith zp150 today. This is the $399 closeout unit that comes with
32k and Microsoft works in rom, and another 32k ram to be installed, and a
printer cable and some silly download software for a host pc. It supposedly
can be expanded to 400k of ram or so (though it says you don't dare do it
yourself). 32k ram modules from zenith list at $79 but I was told they were
$59. ram modules, argh!
The ram modules look like 28 pin (about one inch) sockets epoxied with
2 (16k?) 32 pin "Japan 8648, HM6264LFP-15, VO412WWO" on the underside.
The entire module is listed as a D208AS41T, and in the zenith catalog as
a 800-2254 32k ram module.
My question is, does anyone know if these are just a socket and 2 ram chips,
and if so, couldn't I just solder 15 of these suckers together to populate
my machine? I'm no hardware hacker, but I can build kits. No way am I gonna
spend $59*15=$885.
