User Contributed Documents

Hard Wired Memory Board Removal Memotech shipped some MTX512s with MTX500 computer boards fitted with an internal 32k RAM expansion card. In some of these units the RAM board was soldered to the main PCB, making it difficult to remove the board to add expansions such as MFX.
Lee Bendall has documented how he went about removing his RAM board in this document. Use it at your own risk!
