Hi all,
See... now I remember why I should not dive into yet another
restoration project (such as my AT). It only causes me to
need even MORE stuff :)
My system came with one of the last NEAT-based mainboard, which
did support both the 1Mbit DRAM chips, as well as those funky
"SIPP" modules. It had 2 banks of those chips installed, and,
at the time, I also had two banks of SIPPs in it, for a total
of 4MB. For some reason, the SIPPs have been pulled, so I am
now looking for a bunch of either SIPP modules, and/or about
18 of the 1Mbit chips to "fill the board." A 80286-12 copro
would be fun, too.
I'm not completely certain, but am pretty sure you could probably
manufacture SIPPs out of 30-pin SIMMs by soldering a header to the
connector edge, which shouln't be much too difficult.
