Hi all

I have a pair of RAM chips sat here on my desk doing very little (other than looking pretty in their little blister packs). I'm never going to get round to (a) attempting an install, or (b) asking my mate to do it. Hence, they're for sale.

Originally purchased from Paul Grzelak some time back, these (IIRC) will upgrade a MK2a to 32MB being as they are a pair of 8MB chips. I stand to be corrected on this as it was quite a while ago that I bought them.

I have no idea what they're worth as I can't remember what I paid for them, so offers via PM or email please.


I also have some non-original lenses lying around too. Again, offers via PM or email please. I'm happy to separate, but it would be less hassle for all concerned if the lenses went as a job lot.

I thought they were just oversized lenses.

Trying to keep the cat still while I balanced enormous pieces of plastic on her was the hardest part.

Some of those cats look like they really appreciate all the attention being lavished upon them.

is there a FAQ for installing the chips in a MK2? Also who did you buy them from?

No FAQ that I'm aware of.

These chips are only for a Mk2a. The mk2 upgrade with stacking chips only gets you to 16MB from 12MB. Details here and here. You'll need to find somebody with a spare memory upgrade board if you want more than 16MB.

Well, technically you can stack multiple layers, but it gets much harder to install with each layer.

The StrongARM can only take 4 banks and there are already 3 in the Mk2.

OK 4xhow many megs per bank?

If I were crazy/stupid enough to desolder the factory chips what could be supported?
