8 Mbyte RAM cards (unpopulated) on offer here before eBay!

2007-08-16 by horiprod

Hi Guys.

I don't know if anyones interested, but before I put them on eBay I 
have the following Fairlight spares going cheap... I have about 10 x 
8Mbyte RAM cards unpopulated for GBP 25 (US$50) each. Built up they 
sold for over US$5K. Unpopulated means they are Fairlight production 
cards, including gold plated edge connectors, four layer boards, 
silk screened idents, Vero ears, the full monty, but no components. 
Needed are 24 "glue logic" chips available anywhere, plus 64 x 
TMSC1024 chips. I have no idea where these memory chips can be 
sourced, or at what price. I bought them in a job lot from a 
Fairlight distributer, but I don't have the time to build them up. 
They were originally built up in the Sydney factory with a couple of 
big wire-wound resistors for testing, presumable current drain. I 
can provide images of the bare boards, and also real working 
production boards, as well as full circuit diagrams (schematics, if 
you live in the US). There are a couple of track cuts on one side of 
the board caused by the fixing holes of aforementioned wirewound 
resistors, although these can be very easily fixed up. I have every 
belief these cards will work fabulously when built up, but I can't 
give any guarantee that this will be the case. 

If you are remotely interested, mail me at 
horizontal_productions@hotmail.com and I'll send some pics...

Regards,
