Bodenschatz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:22 PM To: 'Duo/2400 List' Subject: RE: [Duo2400] Re: 2400 VRAM Upgrade Tell me, is this a "solder-in" upgrade or a "chip insertion into an existing socket" upgrade? If the latter, maybe if they'd sell the chipsets??? Also, if the latter, I'd think there would be more interested in doing their own upgrades than having to wait for PS failure to get the upgrade inserted. I just had my back-up-turned-primary go into GLOD. I went through the Sidney Ho GLOD "fixit" routine without success so I pulled the HD out, put it into MCE's "enclosure" and synched all the data back onto my now-returned-to-primary Comet. My back-up has turned into a parts machine, or will get resurrected when the PRAM goes dead. It's been off the "electricity diet" about a month now (no battery or A/C adapter), probably time to check to see if it comes back to life. I have the other 1.3 GB drive I can stick back in there if I want to, could reasonable add the VRAM chipsets at that time if not too difficult. I am not that "electrical engineer" trained, but I didn't find the dissection too difficult. I didn't end up with any extra screws, it really DOES help to have strips of masking tape to corral the removed screws as parts are taken off and then replaced in reverse. -----Original Message----- From: Duo/2400 List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of rlf9 Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 10:55 PM To: Duo/2400 List Subject: [Duo2400] Re: 2400 VRAM Upgrade (BTW this thread began in September '01...) I was talking with one of the DT&T techs last week about repairs to an ailing Wallstreet, and he happened to mention, in reference to Comets, that it seemed to him that the two unused VRAM places on the 'boards could be filled with no attendant problems, adding that the chips are readily available. I encouraged him to look further into this and indicated that quite a few of us owners would undoubtedly be interested. Now he wants to know more about how many, in order to figure out what he might charge. The impression I got was that this would be an independent project for him. Apparently some company recently approached DT&T with 40 Comets to increase their VRAM. Whatcha think? How many in NAmerica might want to send in their 2400c's to have their VRAM upgraded? Please email me offlist with your educated guesses, and I'll report the results back to the list. BobF ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
