4 Meg memory Upgrade on a Revision D 520 ST Motherboard?
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2019 6:12 am
Can someone point to the best solution for a 4 meg upgrade on a Revision D 512 K 520 ST motherboard?
I have a pro working on this one , he is willing to spend 4 - 8 hours on my behalf to do a 4 meg upgrade on a Revision D Atari STFM motherboard, just need pointing in the right direction. He has lots of different Dram modules available, can take the time to do the research but is also relying on me finding out information on what to do and what not to do, I thought I would ask you Exxos, as I am NOT doing any or it other than holding the motherboard for use of a heat gun for re-flow operations. What I need is a chip part number to look for in his vast collection, we need 32 of them. I don't want to upgrade to 1 meg as i already have a 1 meg system that is perfect and I don't intend to touch it at all, new case , etc , new keyboard pins in a header strip, and the back of the 520 case drilled properly so that the TV switch and TV connector will fit properly. (TV switch and TV Output were backwards on the new case), the new hole was so professionally done you can't tell which is the original or the drilled hole.
Here is a picture of the back of my new (old) case , to replace the shattered case from a 6 foot fall (from a shelf in my closet, bottom case shattered beyond repair, top case OK).
Anyways any help from either Exxos or Rubber Johnny would be appreciated, or anyone else.
