Trying to
restore an Alpha Micro ColdFire-based system, and it's missing
its cache SIMM. It works without it, but it sure would be nice. AM doesn't
have much info on it but it appears to be a 72-pin 64KB SIMM (unknown
speed), same keying as 72-pin RAM SIMMs.
I doubt this is a custom part and ISTR that PCs of around that time used
something similar. If you've got something like this mouldering in your
parts drawer, please advise. Thanks!
I have three devices which if I remember right were cache modules, but
they all appear to be 80 pin devices.
Slightly longer pins than the typical 72-pin SIMMs, fit into a vertical
socket on the MB. Any chance you've got the pin count wrong?
