You may have an easy time finding these for next to no
cost at all if you find
some 3-chip 256K-byte 30-pin SIMMs. You can remove two chips of this type from
each of them.
Hi,
Now bit better details here...
Okay, if it is 20pin DIP sockets, fetch 256K x 4 bit 60ns or 70ns
DIPs (the ramdacs on these old computers is not that high to require
60ns). Off a old video cards is easiest, very common item.
If it's SOJ, unsoldering chips from 2 or 3 chip 256K pair of simms is
required. I haev not seen 20 pin SOJ sockets. This SOJ are
soldered on directly to PCB or regular DIP sockets.
1M will only give you 1024x768 at 16 or 256 color I think.
You might want to move up to 2M video card if u need
windows acceleration and more color at 1024x768. S3 Trio 64V+ is
very nice one if fully expanded to 2M.
Most of 1M maxed video cards aren't as fully featured compared to 2M
video chipsets.
Cheers,
Wizard
