I have this card inbound any day now and after googling i have found drivers for the "standard" adapter (http://ibm-pc.org/drivers/memory/memory.htm) but i wonder if those drivers will also work for the "plus" version of this card?
What is the difference between non-plus and plus btw?
I am also currently trying to get a Rampat running:
Acculogic RAMpAT! - Anybody with a working card here?
Can you post a picture of the plus? Do you also have this Dallas-Chip?

Hi,
Dont physically have it yet but this is the actual card (from the Ebay auction)

OK yours doesnt have this Dallas but a IDT6116-LA25P CMOS

There should also be a battery under it?
I would try the non-plus drivers first...
Do you tell us what you paid? Didnt find the auction 😉
Idk if it is battery backed ( but it most probably is ). I did the Dallas hacking on my ps/2 model 30 286 last weekend and it went well, but this seems to be a different beast. It looks socketed at least so perhaps some replacement can be found if needed?
The seller had it out for 90 Eur, but i made an offer for 70 and he accepted. I probably overpaid for it but i really wanted it.
So the card arrived today and i popped it in and started the model 30/286. It immediately counted past my base ram up to 4600 (something) KB so it does recognize the additional memory. No drivers was used, it simply worked first time.
Cool. Then you were lucky that the PC it was previously installed in had the same amount of RAM.
This card should also support EMS, for this you will need a driver.
Yeah i will try the driver found here: http://ibm-pc.org/drivers/memory/memory.htm to get that bit sorted.
As of now, i only see 640KB + 4MB (641-1024 is MIA at the moment).
