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
Hitachi HM628128LP
Alliance AS6C1008 or from Mouser
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

These do not come in a DIP package, but would also work with a simple adapter pcb:

Cypress CY62128E
ISSI IS62C1024AL / IS65C1024AL
