While looking for my cache of PMC MO disks, I stumbled
on a box with some
NOS memory modules. I think I got these when I bid on a mixed lot of old
memory modules that had one that I really wanted.
I have a Compaq Contura 410CX. It's a 486DX2-66 with 12MB in which
current versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD won't install because
of the little RAM. I've had running FreeBSD, muLinux and Tiny Linux
on it, but I really would like to be able to install a current version
of one of the BSD, which I think it would be possible with a little
more RAM.
I don't know how to access the RAM on this machine. I'll try to look
for a technical description and see which kind of RAM it takes, and
get back to you if it?s one of the kinds you have mentioned.
Anybody else knows anything about this Contura, its RAM or its tech
specs or something which might help?
Thank you!
I found 2 2MB and one 8 MB module for what I believe
should be a Compaq
LITE4. These are about the same size as a PCMCIA card, but with offset
contact rows (in contrast to a PCMCIA card).
I've also got a 4MB and an 8MB short (about 2" long) 72-contact SIMM. One
is labeled "21xx Memory" if that's any help.
I've also got another small 8MB memory module about 2"x1" with two 30-pin
female headers on each end of one side.
Anyone have a need for these or even know what they are?
Cheers,
Chuck
