That would have been mine then. The ZRAM only has 2 sockets. You remove the
CPU and the chip right above it, either the MMU or IOU (I don't have a //c open
to confirm which is which). You plug in the board, and plug the 2 chips you
removed onto the ZRAM board.
Best bet is to find a newer ZRAM Ultra board with 1 Meg of RAM, etc.. and use
a ZIP or Rocket for your speed boost. The RAM chips should not have to be
swapped out at all.
