Well, upgrading a 102 should only cost you around $6.00 or less and just involves plugging in a chip. If you're handy you could upgrade an 8K 100 for around the same amount... m - Original Message - From: Jan Vanden Bossche To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Friday, January 25,

Yes, I think so. But that also means I had the concept wrong. I thought that the RAM-switching was done ON the REX, and that the live RAM was on the REX. If I understand it now - sorry I'm slow - the RAM-image is copied into the live RAM of the machine. But, that also mean that, in order to be

QUAD V4 works ok with 0QUAD software, but I was unable to integrated it with REX.That is why I pulled the PCB because I'm not 100% confident in the design, and it didn't meet my goal of 100% interop with REX. I have shared my schematic for Quad V4, and V5 at club 100 for the purposes of

I can still order quad v4 pcbs from oshpark, even though they are not otherwise available any more. I personally haven't had any problems with the v4. I'm not sure how bad the unreliable reset to bank 1 problem really is. Meaning, when it happens, really how bad is that for the user? Do you just

bucket = 24k flash image = 32k you can't put 32k in 24k so it will truncate at 24k.. or saving flash images from that machine will only save 24k of data. because that's all there is easy fix: I sell 8k ram at arcadeshopper.com Greg On Fri, Jan 25, 2019 at 11:17 AM Fred Whitaker wrote: > If

Ram images are sized to match what is in the M100. example you cite would be 24kB of usable image data within a 32 Kb "record" on the flash... does that answer the question ? ;) On Fri, Jan 25, 2019 at 2:17 PM Fred Whitaker wrote: > If it is a Model 100, and you have a quad, you can enjoy 32K
