Albert Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Does anyone know if a 256K ICD MIO board can be upgraded to 1MB? I used to use a 1MB MIO board to run a BBS a long time ago (along with a ton of other hardware) and I'm trying to acquire all of this same hardware again. It seems the most difficult piece to obtain will be a 1MB MIO. 256K versions are a bit easier to come by--does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the 256K version to 1MB? I know ICD offered this as a service, but according to the manual: The MIO is available in 256K or 1 Meg versions. The RAM chips are not socketed and are a very special variety. The 256K versions are not user upgradeable! They may be upgraded by sending the MIO along with the correct upgrade fee to ICD's service department. (Call for current prices.) Any user modification attempts will void all warranties and result in additional service fees. Special RAM, eh? I imagine the BIOS may also be different for the 1MB version? A quick search on Google didn't reveal anything promising. If anyone has information on whether this is or isn't possible, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 Well, after reading that I don't think I'll be performing surgery on an MIO board anytime soon! Thanks for the digging. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
