520stfm mb c103253rev.1 RAM upgrade options

Post by microman »

I have recently acquired a 520STFM, it has a C103253 Rev.1 motherboard, fitted with TMM41256AT-12 PLCC18 RAM chips What are my upgrade options?

512kb -> 1 Mb source of plcc18 ram CHIPS,
512KB -> 1 Mb add on board

512kb -> 4 mb upgrades

Thanks

Peter

I have in the past attempted to upgrade one of these by adding the ram and it didn't end well.

Personally I'd opt for one of these: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0035
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
