Status

This is tested and working

Features

• 8MB of Fast RAM
• Auto-sizing - The RAM board will coexist with other devices by autosizing to fit the remaining free Zorro II memory space

PCB Ordering

For best results the boards should be manufactured with the "Gold Fingers" option so that the edge connector will survive many insertion/removal cycles

Jumpers

4MB: Forces the board to appear as a 4MB board rather than 8MB

* U2 buffers the cards generated DTACK and OVR signals - In a pinch this can be left out but you will run into problems with the A2091 and some other devices so it is best to fit this and save yourself the headache

Troubleshooting

• Symptom: System does not boot, the power LED does not change brightness
  Solution: Possible incorrect orientation/faulty ic in U2 - check orientation and/or remove this IC and try again
