5266.0. "A2630 Memory (More than 4-Megs)" by ARRODS::GOLDSTEIN (Steve G. DTN: 847-5401) Thu Dec 12 1991 08:15

    
    
    	Thought I start a new topic on the A2630 card...
    
    
    	In the manual it says that it possible to add a daughter memory
    card to the back of the A2630....
    
    	No one at the moment produces one BUT I spoke to a PD library
    and this guy is saying he is going to import a card soon to be produced
    that will allow upto 64 Megs on the card...???!!! 
    
    	The first question I come up with is HOW ...!!I was under the
    impression that the system is limited to a MAX of 8-Meg...and therefore 
    the A2630 had a limit of 8-Megs ...
    (so how do the GVP's have upto 32-megs of 32-bit memory AUTOCONFIGURING)
    
    	If I put an 8-UP fully populated in my system I only see 8-megs (4
    Megs 32-bit and 4-meg 16-bit) 
    
    	The infomation I was told was that this would also make the card
    faster....???!!!

    Actualy, you can buy a 32MByte expansion/daughter board for your 2630
    from a german company called 'Ralph Jogheim Computertuning'...
    It was offered at the expo in K�ln a few months back.
    It was populated with 4Meg and upgradable up to 32Meg in 4Meg steps.
    The price for the 4Meg-populated board was about US$800...
    (too much for me at the moment so i'll have to cope with 7Meg now ;-)
    
    If you want me to, I can lookup ano of their adds pretty easy and give
    you some more info on the company (phone/fax numbers etc..)
    
    Just let me know.
