Actually I'm supprised no one has made an XT type
card that has a single 1M
SIMM mounted on it to expand the memory to 640K, should be pretty easy to do
as most simms will self refresh if you reverse the order of RAS and CAS once
in a while. I know this is at least in theory possible, as I have hooked a
1M simm up to a Dragon 32 (UK CoCo clone) in this way.
Now that you mention it, I'm surprised too. I'll do some research to
see if anyone else has done one. If not, it could be a fun and quick
project.
Of course, these days it's getting hard to find 1M SIMMs, too...
