Hi,
I have recently received and repaired a TRS-80 Model 200 machine. Woot!
My query is if anybody has any experience in adding extra memory - I note
that it has some sockets under it for memory expansion, but the recommended
devices are 24k (A ceramic carrier with 3 x 8K chips and some decoding -
Has anybody had experience using 62256 or similar parts?
The M200 reference manual has a diagram of the RAM module. It is just
three 8kx8 RAMS and a 74LS138. So with a conversion socket, a 32kx8 RAM
will probably work too.

This type of caramic devices was core business for Kyocera, which made
the M100 line of computers.

I modified one of these about twenty years ago for a friend, as I recall
I was able to get it up to at least 48K of RAM - I think he may still be
using it from time to time, I must ask...
