Tedd: I have not been following this thread so I have no idea of the whole story here. I was simply explaining the difference between the 6264 and the 2864.
But, many years ago someone made a low profile socket for the 6216 and 6264 chips that had a built-in battery and blocking diode. To give your CMOS RAM chips battery backed capability, you simply plugged this special socket onto the existing socket on the PC board, then plugged in your CMOS RAM chips. Could it be someone retrofitted this RC-96 with this mod ??

Hi Ron: Well that would make sense! My only question arises is how can the "base" data be loaded into the 6264 if it looses it's data when unplugged? As the RC-96 doesn't have any backup battery, how is the data saved? Cross-posted to the ACC list. Tedd Doda, VE3TJD Lazer Audio and Electronics Baden, Ontario, Canada Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
