More Memory for the IA-1

New MessageMore Memory for the IA-1 (modified 0 times) erroneus

Has anyone looked into a way to boost the amount of RAM this thing has? At the moment, 32MB is quite limited. Back in the older days of PCs and some other computers, people were successful at adding a logic gate and piggy-backing RAM chips... hehehe, those were OLD days. :) What is possible now-days though? I haven't a clue, but there is certainly a desire for more RAM and I know I can't be the only one. So this query is about what is possible... I haven't read anything about RAM expansion possibilities.

see, i knew you had something to do with the old PC/XT days i read about the same memory chip piggybacking technique, before finally getting a SixPack expansion card (woohoo!)

jayklm of the Audrey message board attempted to remove and replace the SDRAM chips on his Audrey motherboard with similar but higher-capacity chips, and had no luck depending on the BIOS and actual physical address lines connected, it should be possible to replace the 32M SDRAM chips, but would require SMD removal and soldering work. other linux-hacker readers have offerred and/or supplied this service, but that was with known good hardware hacks.

maybe codeman can offer some insight on the possibilities?
