I believe you can configure these to be used as master / slave RAM packs:

Ever seen a more tanned 80?

I have come across a few of these but haven’t ever refurb’d one. Not ridiculously rare but I wouldn’t change one other than any necessary repairs.

There are probably a few in here!

I had a +3 where if I plugged in my DIVMMC future and didn’t get it in exactly the right place it either wouldn’t boot or would give a garbled screen. The edge connector was cleaned.
I always assumed it was worn and therefore would only make contact and work in certain spots.

Bump.

I can finally get some use out of my 80. Even on my black and white portable the picture was pretty poor on RF.

Now all I need is time to figure it all out!

I have not had to go above 100pF to get hires working. So far they have worked on 47 to 100pF
