Z-RAM-3D ram upgrage module.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,  I bought a pig in a poke on eBay the other day.  It's a RAM upgrade board that was removed form a "working" ST.  It's called a "Z-RAM-3d/4Meg." by a company called Zubair Interfaces Inc.  There was no documentation with this item, but I also bought the motherboard the upgrade was originally installed on.  The motherboard had been scrapped out.  The socketed chips were removed and the RAM looks like it was removed with a chisel, but the attachment points for the ram upgrade were visible.  The problem is there are more connections coming from the upgrade module than there are attachment points on the motherboard.

 

So my hope is that someone here has, or has documentation, or really any information on this ram upgrade.

I just bought one a couple months ago.  The gaggle of wires leads to a smaller circuit board, which appears to fit atop the MMU...  Am including photos.  I'm trying to find suitable RAM, all the same model and speed... is it possible to mix speeds (eg. 511000 chips at 100ns and 70ns?)   I've also seen 511000 and 511001 chips and am trying to find if both are of the same 1mbit standard and compatible...

Do you have a copy of the software you have there? I picked up a 520 STFM with this board and it's populated on one side.
