16K Ram expander

Post by billTS1000 »

Hi fellow members

I have just purchase a T/S 1000 computer on eBay and am waiting for it's arrival. I am looking for a used Memopak 16K or a T/S Model 1016 16K Ram pack. Can anyone help me?

Hello and welcome to our forum :D

There is a Memotech one on eBay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371545874738 but it is priced a bit higher than the amount they normally go for...

Alternately you may want to have a look at these modern products:- If you have a SCART equipped TV there is also the Chroma 81 - SCART and Colour interface for the ZX81

Or if you can solder, I can point you to details of how to add 16k bytes (or 32k bytes) of RAM inside your TS1000.

Mark
ZX81 Variations
ZX81 Chip Pin-outs
ZX81 Video Transistor Buffer Amp

:!: Standby alert :!:
There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

ZX81XRAM will be no longer available as the ZXblast will do this job in future plus mass storage interface (USB). ;)

For cheap & simple, see on my site: ZX81 internal RAM expansion

Highly recommended when that Memotech pack from eBay fails (probably sooner than later!), or billTS1000 gets hit by RAM pack wobble. :mrgreen:
