Steve,
How is this for height in the motherboard shielding? Does it need any mods to the shielding?
Any idea when the board might be available?
Thanks
Peter
STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Do STMs have shielding?? I don't even remember. Sorry my shielding is long gone so can't test that. Keyboard fits fine.
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
The boards still have not been made up yet so I cannot check.
Considering the STM's had chips on top of chips and bodge wires on top of those I assume the shielding still fitted.. I cannot imagine the RAM board being any taller than that..

Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Hey there folks!
Just installed one of these. I see two photos one with RAM capacitors removed, one with them still in place. I assume it's fine either way?
I'm having the black-white border screen of no boot currently and troubleshooting my way through it...just checking the "instructions" to see if I did an oopsie or if I just damaged my board and need to find what I did.
Thanks!!

Shouldn't matter. Preference is to leave them in.

Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Whats the chances of this working in the 1040 SFF C070523-01 pcb?
Re: STM 4MB RAM UPGRADE
Interesting thought. Will look into it when I get chance. But I'd assume not, as the chips would have to be in the same order and same spacing.
