- Hello! Congrats on your purchase of your Zip. I did the same upgrade from
- 16K to 64K cache myself, and here is the info:
-
- The company is called Microprocessors Unlimited, Inc.,
- 24000 So. Peoria,
- Beggs, OK 74421
-
- (918) 267-4961
-
- They usually have an ad in the Computer Shopper, and here is the info
- you'll need when ordering the cache rams:
-
- 4 X 62256-35 (four of the 62256 cache chips, at 35 nanoseconds)
-
- You might want to get slower chips and save a few
- bucks, but the problem with that is IF you get
- an upgrade to like, 10 Mhz, you will have to spend
- money on faster cache chips again, so with 35 ns
- cache chips to begin with, you'll be set for speeds
- up to around 11 Mhz (hey guys, this is what I read,
- correct me if I am wrong.)
-
- At the time of my purchase (Jan 2, 1992) each chip costed me $14,
- and four of them came out to be $56. With packing, shipping, etc., the total
- cost came out to be $63.00, a pretty good deal. The price should be lower
- now (I think, or they might not be.)
-
- Oh, I left out the full detail on the chips, here they are:
-
- 62256-35 32Kx8 35 ns Sony CXK58258p-35 CMOS.
-
- Hope this helps, and your are welcome.
