5170 memory board...

[geneb]

I'd like to put at least a megabyte of RAM in my 5170. I've got 512k in stacked 128k chips on the motherboard as well as a small memory expansion card that brings the system to 640k.

Does anyone have an expanded(?) memory board they can sell me?

Thanks!

You're better off using an extended memory board in an AT. They're easier to come by, and can be used to emulate expanded memory for times when it is needed. They can usually be found cheaply on eBay or other on-line sites.

I hadn't spotted anything on eBay, so I posted a request here.

You mean something like this:

Yes! Just that exact thing. I wonder why it doesn't show in the searches I did. Hrm.
Thanks!

You're welcome! I almost purchased it myself because I could use it to add memory to my already 2 meg 5170, but resisted the urge.

I may have docs for it, if ya buy it. I'll look.
