Memory upgrade

2002-12-22 by djfiorucci <dfiorucci@cox.net>

Well I've tried to upgrade my EII to double memory but no luck so 
far.
My situation is I have a Rev 1 digital board that has a piggyback 
memory board.
The Rev 1 board has the jumpers for 64K and 256K  memory 
configurations.
I was told that all I would have to do  would be change the 
memory chips for the 256K ones placing them on the digital 
board itself and removing the piggyback board.
Then replace the IC87 with a 74S74.
Replace the Scanner ROM with a 3.1 and sett the jumpers to 
256K configuration.
Supposibly none of the kludge wire configuration was needed.

Well it doesn't work I've tried adding the piggyback board back 
and can get it to at least boot using a 3.1 disk that is OS only but 
it will not load a bank.

Has anyone done a memory upgrade on this configuration 
before? ( rev 1 digital board )
What else needs to be done to make this work?

I've set everything back the way it was but I'm ready to give it 
another go if someone has a proven method of doing this 
upgrade.

Thanks,
Dana
