Thanks to @Steve for trying this out and sending me these images!
This new upgrade (not yet available) allows 4MB to be fitted to a older STM type machine.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)

STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Fantastic! Will definitely replace my piggyback 
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Very nice job @Steve How's the clearance with the keyboard?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
@PhilC plenty of space
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Is that in the sockets as well @Steve ?
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
I didn't socket it just soldered right in
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Thats why I asked, I don't think there is clearance for sockets as well.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
There looks to be at least one socket there.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
They're soldered on to precision headers on the motherboard. You would only want to socket it if you're planning on removing the ram board for different reasons I'm not sure?
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Does this help?
