[aus.computers.ibm-pc] Adding 8-bit wide RAM to an AT.

U5533129@ucsvc.ucs.unimelb.edu.au (CARDIOLOGY, R.M.H.) (09/05/90)

We have an old original IBM AT here with 256k RAM on the motherboard and a 256k
extension card.  It is only used for relatively low power applications like
word processing, but it really does need that extra 128k of RAM.

Two questions:

Does anyone know of a relatively cheap add-on card to give us this extra
memory?

Can I use an XT memory expansion card, albeit with some sacrifice in
performance, for this purpose?  Most of the cheaper cards available are
for XT's.

Many thanks,

Peter Summers
