Hi folks,
Lately I was thinking about upgrading my Powerbook's RAM.
Since the RAM in old 68k and PPC powerbooks is proprietary, and finding a "chiped up" RAM module is hard, it got me thinking.
I study electrotechnics in University and I got good soldering equipment which could get the job done, that is soldering extra chips in the empty spaces on the RAM module.
I have a Powerbook 5300cs, but its really hard to find these RAM modules here in easter europe.
So my offer stands like this:
Send me at least two RAM modules from your old Powerbook and I will put extra chips from one board to the other which will be maxed out (of course depending on the chips capacity)
Who would be interessted?
I will do this for free, for anyone interested, just to see if it is possible. And then try to do some for myself, when I will find some extra module for the 5300cs.
