Potemkyn Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I opened up one of my 800XLs this week to find what looks like a memory upgrade of some sort. I've not turned this one on in awhile, and it was in the needs some work drawer. Take a look and see if you can figure out what mod this is. If needed, I can take additional pictures, just specify what you need. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Those are 41256 256 kilobit DRAM chips and a daughterboard of decoding logic - so if there's 8 DRAMs, that's a 256KB memory mod. I have no idea if this particular mod had a name by which it was commonly known or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potemkyn Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks for the help! That's a lot of RAM for one of these. Though, I know some people have 1MB and above kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
