Techknight and I have been working on getting a different PDS RAM card together... We've got a former Dynamic Engineering batch of PCB's ready to populate.. I just have to get him the code OCR'd from the paperwork... It's all about finding time to do this... 🙂

So far I was also a query whether there is a stock of the 8mb ram card several times in Digital Engineering. However, there was no stock.

Sorry,I am not good at English.

I have a Macintosh Portable 5126 (4mb ram).

I want to use this portable for my lifework.

But I can not use KANJI talk7.1.

So,I am looking for the 8mb ram card on PDS slot.

What is different PDS RAM card?

Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-05-17 06:16:28
Hisashi-san, the original RAM cards are no longer sold and used ones are impossible to find, so people here are trying to build one that will work in its place. But it's not a finished product you can order, they are still working on it. You'll have to wait until they are done.

Anyone know how to mark a forum thread so you can get updates emailed? That might help the OP.

Now,Macintosh portable 5120 Memory card has been sent to eBay.

I am looking for the 8mb card for 5126.

Posted by: techknight on 2016-05-28 09:56:03
theres a 4 Meg, and a 6Meg PDS version right now on ebay. PDS versions work in both models. 

Posted by: Hisashi Sasaki on 2016-05-29 00:32:24
Can I use this 6Meg PDS version for 5126?

日本語で正解に質問します。今、eBay に出品されている6mbのカードはMacintosh portable backlit 5126 のPDSスロットに挿入して使えますか。もし使えるなら入札したいと思います。たぶん、これが最後の入手のチャンスになると思います。どなたか日本語が分かるかたがいましたら、お答えください。

Posted by: Macdrone on 2016-05-29 01:14:36
You ndont understand.  There is a language barrier here.  He was just explaining what cards were made, not that he had them.  That was already discussed.

Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-05-29 04:20:12
English translation:

"I will ask properly (?) in Japanese. Right now, the 6MB card which is being sold on eBay, can I use it in the 5126 PDS slot? If I can use it, I'd like to place a bid. I think this might be my last chance to obtain such a card. If anyone here understands Japanese, please reply."

I am translating the question here because as far as I understand from what Techknight said, the answer is yes, and so I'm telling him, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

ひさしさん、はい、6mbのカードが使えると思います。入札して頑張ってください!

Thank you so much!!

Ah, I'm glad he finally posted in Japanese. Some of us here can read/write it, so it is much more helpful than one trying to communicate in a non-native language.

Last week, I bought a ram card of 7mb in PDS slot. However, Mac does not start. Logic board, slot, AC adapter 1.5A,I do not know whether there is a problem.
