[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Tandy 3000HL mem upgrade?

dbw@cbnewsj.att.com (david.b.wood) (08/15/90)

Does anyone know what is required to upgrade from 512k to 640k in the
Tandy 3000HL AT-compatible?  It's CHIPS chipset, and the only sockets
on the board are 4 18-pin and 2 16-pin DIPs.
Needless to say, I don't have any docs at all.  I don't know about
jumpers either.

Thanks,
Dave Wood	dbw@mtunk.att.com

If you want to purchase your upgrade kit from Radio Shack, it's
their stock number 25-4082, probably around $75.

If you want to purchase your own chips, you'll need 4 64Kx4 100ns
DRAMS (they go in the 18-pin sockets) and 2 64Kx1 100ns DRAMS.
The 64Kx4 chips should cost you about $4 apiece (mailorder) and the
64Kx1 chips should be about $3.  You'll need to remove the jumper
at E8-E9 and place it on E10-E11.  That's all.
