Color Classic VRAM Sources?
Posted by: jdlanza on 2020-09-14 20:23:05
All:

I have a couple of Color Classics that I am refurbing and I'm trying to locate additional VRAM.  It appears to be a 68-pin chip (>100 ns), but I can't find anyone that clearly has them.  Anyone have ideas for sources (or chips that work)?

I've had good luck with things from MemoryX in the past.  Haven't bought any 256KB SIMMs from them, but I've had no problems with everything else I've bought there.  Interestingly enough, it's cheaper if you buy it from them on eBay (second link).

I got one of these recently and it worked perfectly:
