- 64K Static RAM Board
This was a fairly traditional 64K static  RAM board for the time with some extra features added in.

64K RAM


The board used 2K X 8-bit RAM (150 nsec.) chips. Typical chips were NEC UPD4016-3's,  Hitachi HM6116P-3's, or Mitsubishi M585725P's. Speed was in excess of 6 MHz. The board ran with low power requirements. (435 Ma. max. — loaded with 64K).  The board had Cromemco style Bank Select and Extended Addressing.  It also had a 2K window which can be placed anywhere in the 64K memory map.  It had independently addressable 16K blocks organized as:-

Two independent 32K banks
One 64K Extended Address Page
One 48K and one 16K bank for use with MP/M.

Each 32K bank responded independently to the phantom line.
2716 (5V) EPROMS could replace any or all of the RAM.
The board had field-proven operation in CROMEMCO CROMIX and CDOS.
It also was compatible with EEE 696 systems such as Northstar, CompuPro, Morrow, IMS, IMSAI front panel, Altair and many others.
