- I need to add more memory to my A3000 and I'm having trouble finding
- 1meg x 4 Static column ZIP ram chips at a reasonable price. I have been
- able to find nybble and page mode ZIP ram chips easily. I understand
- that the static column chips support burst mode and thus are 10% faster
- than the nybble & page mode chips. But I believe I've seen a post here
- on the Net which stated that due to a bug in the RAMSEY chips of early
- A3000s (like mine) that causes the burst mode not to be used. Can anyone
- especially from Commodore confirm this? Also could you give me the name
- and phone number of a company selling static column chips?
-
- Thanks
