Hi Steve, I'm happy with a 2Mb unit. Still much better than 390K floppies on the Kaypro (even if they are emulated! :-) )

None of this is urgent from my perspective, and certainly not worth sacrificing personal/family time to. :-) Cheers, Bert On 6/29/20 6:38 PM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > Well, I have built and tested everything but I am sad to report that I > am the victim of counterfeit components. > All the 4MB SRAMs that I bought are actually 2MB SRAMs! > I've complained to the seller, and we'll see what they say about their > "certified" parts. > > 4 MB SRAMs are hard to find at a reasonable price.
