- I've got a PC1386 (20 megahertz 386) from Amstrad. It claims to be
- capable of having a memory cache added to it if you strip it correctly
- and populate the cache chip sockets. Unfortunately, the manual
- neglects to inform you of which chip type is required for the cache.
-
- I wrote to the manufacturer and they were nice enough to send me a
- photocopy of a page in their upgrade manual but the cache instructions
- are scant at best. It specifies (and I quote) '64Kx9 DRAMs 35ns' for
- the memory cache. Every chip supplier that I contact says that this
- couldn't be the case. Is there anyone out there who knows what I
- should be using in this machine? Perhaps there is someone out there
- who has already enabled their cache and they could send me the part
- number off of the chip itself?
-
- Many thanks,
