Missing 3 resistors from STfm upgrade pack

Post by algizmo23 »

Hi, posted on this already, but apparently drew no attention. I ordered and received an STFm RAM upgrade pack #0111 but on opening the package could not find any 68Ohm resistors promised by the listing. I don't have any knocking around so my progress on this project is slowed to a stop. dm 'd Exxos brought no response, any hope of receiving the resistors?

I'd suggest that you PM @exxos directly to ask rather than post on the forum as the admins usually monitor here but have no control over shop items.

BTW, the listing states 33R resistors so I'd suggest you check whats already fitted to make sure you're asking for the right thing.
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...

I've not had any messages from you , so that be why you had no response. I've also not had time to read the forum lately either. So I was unaware of the problem until a moderator mentioned it to me just.

Anyway sorry for the problem, these things sometimes happen unfortunately. I will sort it out ASAP.

The package did not include the 3 resistors necessary to enable the Ram upgrade chips to work. The order Number was: EX6DF7244DEC4E2FFAA54E0C59082EAC. PURCHASED ITEM: STFM DRAM 512K SET 16 CHIPS ( 512K to 1MB) NEW
REQUESTED QTY: 1
QTY IN STOCK: 16
STOCK AVAILABLE :)
Price for items = £22 The store listing does include reference to 3x33R resistors, the mod page references 68ohm value, my 520STFM has empty spaces where I hope to fit chips and resistors (and capacitors ordered seperately and have arrived in timely fashion) Have been enjoying the wealth of resources you make available on your site, but my fingers itch to commence upgrade ; )
