I need information on two S-100 cards that I have acquired with no manuals. If someone
has manuals on these, I'd pay a nominal fee for a copy, but in the meantime I'd
like switch and jumper info.
Card #1 is a Vector Graphic 64k RAM card. The card uses four rows of National
Semiconductor MM5290 chips. There is one dip switch, 8 position, and lots of jumpers.
Also, some circuitry that is not populated [U17, U18, U32 and a number of discreet
components]. What are the 5290's, are these static or dynamic ? I was presuming it
was DRAM, but I was expecting 4 rows of 4116's. Bad news, the memory chips and most
of the support chips are soldered and are not socketed, which will be tough to fix if it
doesn't work [and for a 20+ year old board, the chances that it works are not that
good]. Can anyone help ?
Card #2 is a Problem Solver Systems {PSS} Ram 16, a 16k static board with TMS4045 chips
[those are 4k x 1 static rams, good chips, I have LOTS of experience with them and even
some spare chips]. Two dip switches, one toggle switch and lots of jumpers. Need info.
Anyone who can help, thanks in advance !
