Seattle Computer Products -- (24-101) 16K RAM Board
This was SCP's first 16K RAM board. The board utilized 8KX1 TMS 4044 RAM
chips.
This board was fully compatible with the early S-100
bus and interfaced without difficulty to the MITS 8080, IMSAI,
Poly 88, Sol 20, Cromemco, Alpha-Micro, and similar
microprocessor systems. It was designed to operate without wait
states with a Z-80A processor operating at 4Mhz. when
populated with the 250 nsec. memory chips. With 450
nsec. chips, it would operate in 2 Mhz. systems
without wait states. Its fully static
design ensures "no clocking or interference problems" when used for
DMA. The board via the dip switch could be addressed ay any 4K boundary.
The board recognized the S-100 phantom disable line on pin 67. The
board via a dip switch could separately write protect each separate 4K of
RAM on the board. It should be noted the board did not have data bus
buffers and so did not work well in large S-100 bus systems with many other
cards.
