RAM Disk
Battery-backed SRAM powered by the wall power when present, the AA batteries when wall power is absent, and the CR2430 coin cell when wall power and AA batteries are absent.
Internal ram upgrade socket can take a single chip, either 32K or 128K.
- 32K: 32Kx8 parallel SRAM, 5v, low power, DIP-28
- 128K: 128Kx8 parallel SRAM, 5v, low power, DIP-32
Many different chips are compatible. Here are just a few for example & reference:
- Hitachi HM628128LP
- Alliance AS6C1008-55PCN from DigiKey or from Mouser <-- BEST BATTERY LIFE
- ICSI IS62C1024LL-70W also LL or L, 70 or 55
- BSI BS62LV1024PC-70 also 1025 or 1027 or 1028, PC or PI, 70 or 55
- Toshiba TC551001CP-70L
- AMIC LP621024D-70LL
- Goldstar GM76C8128
- Samsung KM681000BLP-7L
- ASI MT5C1008CW-70L/883C
Generic ebay search for the type of chip, not a particular part number:

Installation notes:
- Turn the PROTECT switch OFF before installing.
- Press the Reset pin or F2+CTRL+BKSP after power-on after installing.
- Format the new ramdisk: FILES -> RAM DISK -> HELP -> Format
The reset will have wiped your system settings, so you may need to configure the battery type again:
- SETUP -> System -> Battery type
