Jeff, using the filter that Greg suggested helped me set my expectations and range. I picked up a NEC PC8201a for $114+shipping (CAD) before Christmas, and a complete-but-partially-functioning (and I'll likely have questions for this group about it) M100 in February for $45 + shipping (CAD). I hop

It's pretty much a case of "wait for the right auction." I passed on a bunch of slab tops before I found the T102 that I have. I ended up getting it for less than $100, and I'm very happy with what I got. Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311 On Sun, Mar 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM Greg Swallow

Re: [M100] why has no one ever made a 24kB RAM module for M100?

Because the 8k modules are already available from arcadeshopper. And, if you are a hacker or cheapskate, the memory chips are not uncommon. On Sun, 14 Mar 2021 at 17:08, Jeffrey Birt wrote: > I have a few 32K memory modules I’m testing that another list member came > up with. One design is 32K

I have a few 32K memory modules I’m testing that another list member came up with. One design is 32K of FRAM and plugs into the #3 socket and you run a few wires to pick up the other needed signals. The other plugs into the System bus socket. Both take over all 32K of RAM address space. I susp

Seems like such a thing is long overdue. The 3801 8k variant is very common. I made up a board today to test. It has a single 128kB SRAM chip, and some logic to decode the 12 (16) /CE signals into address lines. In fact it is a 32k capable module, with the usual case being 24kB. the rightmost s
