Hi there...
One of the RAM chips in my II+ blew out (the one right next to the
16K/"Language" Card for those who care :) ).
I've replaced for the time being with the same chip type from my language card,
but would like to get new one.
It's an 8137, by ITT (ITT's number is 4116 3N). I haven't had to get this one
before, so I'm not sure where to look. I guess I can always call ITT, but
this seems like it may be a common chip.
Any ideas on where I can find a few? Jameco? (Don't have one of their
catalogs handy...)
Sorry if this sort of thing has been asked before, but I just recently
added this group...
Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S. If anyone has a Cat modem they don't need any more, let me know. I
could use another backup. (I don't even care about the 212 card,
just the 300/202 bps one.)chiu@ucsee (05/26/91)

What I can suggest you to do is keep the RAM from language card on your mother board, and go buy another language card... Language cards are been sold for about $39 or so these days from mail order. > >Sorry if this sort of thing has been asked before, but I just recently >added this group... > >Thanks in advance for any help! > >-Doug > >dreuben@eagle.wesleyan.edu >dreuben@wesleyan.bitnet > > >P.S.

Ah, another owner of AppleCat (reminds me of good old days of catfur)

Yes...I think making silly, mindless mistakes like I made above is the punishment one gets for posting at 4AM! I'll look around for a 16K DRAM, maybe some EE major or whoever has a few left over from High School..(Or Junior High School? :) ). If not, I'll get another 16K card...$39 seems like a lot to spend for a new chip, though! :) This is an Apple II, not a Mac! ;) > Ah, another owner of AppleCat (reminds me of good old days of catfur) Yup...and Disk-Fer and Catsend before that...It's hard to believe I used to think 202 was FAST!

It's a 16K x 1 dynamic RAM chip. Check your electronic parts supplier's catalog under RAM, dynamic, 16K. The speed should be about 200nS or faster (it doesn't matter). The number 8137 is the date code. It is a common chip. You should be able to pick one up for under $3. +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Stephen Brown Toronto, Canada | | Internet: sb@pnet91.cts.com UUCP: utzoo!pnet91!sb | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Apple II Forever !!! | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Like my new .signature. ?
