I'm sorry to bring up such a talked-about issue, but this is yet another request for memory upgrade info. Okay, I've got an old-style 520ST. External Disk drive. Supposedly the Zubair Z-RAM/2.5 will work for me. Does anyone know if I am making the correct assumption? (anything I should know?) Also, that MMU that I need, I opened my ST up and there are 4 chips that are CO2[something]-38 It's the 38 I want, right? (but one is a -38A ...?) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please respond via e-mail. Thanks in advance! David S. Rowell REYY@Vax5.cit.cornell.edu (Internet) .signature upon request

(Sorry, I planned to E-mail this, but I lost the original address) Yes, the 2.5 one should work for you. The 4 meg one WILL NOT work. I have returned mine and am waiting for the 2.5 in exchange. The 3-D/4MEG works, but you can't put the back on at all, even with only 2 meg installed. It is just too big for your machine. You want the CO25912-38, not the CO100109-001. The later can only address up to 1 Meg. and is only in the newer machines. I don't know about the -A, but it seems ok. My 2 meg board should be here in another week or so, I can say for sure then, but I am reasonably certain it will work now. If you want more 'help' with the Zubair board, just ask.
