dead vic ram replacement
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2020 5:50 pm
So the ram on my Vic seems to be trashed, but I'm not sure exactly which chip it is. I was looking around for a replacement set of SRAM chips, both chips get hot, so there's at least one short. I saw on Atariage that 2148 chips seem to be compatible with the 2110s in use on the system, and run cooler with a newer HMOS process but that got me to thinking,
1. in the US is there a seller that sells either original chips, or good quality replacements for reasonable prices?
2. Would it be more 'economical' to replace the ram with something like either a bigger SRAM chip, like a built in ram expansion?
I was looking at the external cart options, so I know it's possible, but I'm just trying to figure out the best way of doing this.
