nikeymikey Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) See here... The guy claims to have "stacked" the ram chips but is yet to supply any photo proof. He said this "You're damn right. I just finished all 4 chips and the X3 bios detects it and all is good :)" so seems to have succeeded. If so this is a world first , yeah??

Ribbenaster Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Boy howdy I hope it's true. Bit of an odd man out, but I generally prefer 1.6 consoles since they have less caps to replace, & seem overall more "efficient" in their internals. If this is true, then I don't have to look at my 1.6 collection as "those guys" anymore! Edited June 3, 2022 by Ribbenaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) We did this with certain versions of the Amiga, before modern day chips and cheap build your own PCB’s became available. No nobody does it now as you can do it cheaper by not using 20+ year old parts from donors, with retro tax added to the price. interesting to see if it work’s however.

Yoinx Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I mean... I'm no expert, but math is math. If he stacked 1 chip to "prove it worked" shouldn't he have 3 passing chips since he'd only be missing the 4th chip at that point? Seems more like the one he stacked stopped working and only the one that wasn't stacked was... No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie-Burger Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 This is cool, hope it real as I have a ton of 1.6s in. Now all we need is Cerbios 1.6. I'm 80% done with ISO set and about 5TBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only we could figure out the resistor. values on the cpu and board to give the cpu a little overclock. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to give it a shot if anyone finds the values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
