Re: RamWorks Expander Modification?

[BAD <badavis@nbnet.nb.ca>]

Thanks for the info Mark.

The  Ram Works Expander that I have is a Rev. B model. Counting from
the bottom, the pins that are cut off are pins 4 and 5. I was counting
from the top of the card down.

I guess they may just be broken. I may give it a try and see what
happens.

I don't have one of those Expander cards, but the RWIII manual
indicates
that pins 1, 2, 3 & 13 on the row of 24 pins (1 is at the bottom)
should be
cut for a Rev-B 512K Expander that is being used on a RWbasic, RWII or
RWIII.
It also states that this modification is not required for the Rev-C
512K or
2M expander.
A comical note says to count the pins carefully as they take a long
time to
grow back. :)

I guess you need to know what Revision the Expander it is first, or
hopefully someone has a manual on the Expander (if there ever was
one), but
there is no mention of pins 20 & 21 so I suspect they _SHOULD_ be
there.
