Nobody's home today, and I was thinking what to do on this rainy and boring day...


New RAM chips are already delivered, but I guess I will solder them next week...

I also had to repair 2 broken pins on my previous RAM board:


Sorry for this little mess, but I do not have any fancy laser etching stuff, so I had to do everything with me DREMEL. :(

Have to seal everything now with my chip sealant and it will look neater...

Very neat repair :)

Very neat - is this to upgrade the ST RAM to 10 Meg?

Apparently the board in my TT can be upgraded with a DRAM change too, so will be interesting to see how you get on!

Will get back to it when time allows.

My new board has already, as you can see on the previous picture, all its chips removed and ready to be replaced with the following ones:
