yorgle Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm in the process of finishing a RAMBO 256k mod in one of my 1200xl's. I'm expecting the new DRAMS to arrive any day and I've read that I need to be sure to be properly grounded before handling them. My question is, what's the best way to do this?

I'm expecting the new DRAMS to arrive any day and I've read that I need to be sure to be properly grounded before handling them. My question is, what's the best way to do this? an anti-static wristban will work and they are pretty easy to find. or better yet, an anti-static matt. Both devices must be connected to something that is allready grounded such as a cold water pipe or a device that is already grounded to a three prong wall outlet (such as a PC case).

midnight8 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 grab a hold of a metal part of the machine to discharge any static electricity. Many computer shops sell a strap to wrap around your wrist and clip to a ground on a computer with an alligator clip to keep you from damaging your chips.
