yorgle Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Does anyone here know off-hand what rams (and how many) are required to install the Rambo 256k upgrade in a 1200xl? My rambo is on the way and I'd like to order the rams so that I can get right to work installing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 can I ask where you got the upgrade? Are they still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorgle Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 can I ask where you got the upgrade?Are they still available? Ebay. There were two of them listed: one sealed and one openned but never installed. I got the sealed one for $50.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ah, ok. 41256-12 is the part you are looking for and you need 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 YEah. 41256 is one part number.. The -12 means 120ns, but actually anything faster than 250ns is fine for the ATARI... WHat you need are 256k x 1bit drams in a 16 pin DIP package. There are quite a few manufacturers and the part numbers vary slightly. If you cant find any, I can buy them here locally for about $.75 - $1.00 each.. You need 8 of them to do a standard RAMBO XL installation. If you paypal me $8.00 + $2.00 shipping, I'll mail you a set of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliecron Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 can I ask where you got the upgrade?Are they still available? Ebay. There were two of them listed: one sealed and one openned but never installed. I got the sealed one for $50.00. I bought the other one, also for 50 bucks. MIne will be going into a 1200xl as well. tip: On ebay, sorting by 'newly listed' often brings up gems in the "Buy it now" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
