Patrick came up with a cunning way to implement do-it-yourself almost-BGA. It will involve a 0.8mm PCB that is soldered onto the existing pads once the chips have been removed (or onto the test pads on the back of the board).

From the sound of it, it didn't sound like it would be easy though, so I'm going to hassle Hugo to do mine when Patrick's got the boards ready .

This will then use a ribbon cable to connect to another board which has the SIMM holder.

It'll almost certainly have to be a SIMM, because the ARM can only talk to EDO chips, and doesn't support SDRAM, which (AFAIK) rules out DIMMs.

The main problem was where to stow the SIMM.
