Notes

An E&T Software 64K memory card for the ADAM with its memory sockets empty - a board sold or left bare, to be filled with chips the owner supplies.

What 64K does

  • Takes the machine to 144K in total.
  • Gives SmartWRITER 64,000 more characters of workspace, about thirty-two pages of double-spaced text.
  • Needs no addressor card: 64K is the size the ADAM's bus was laid out for, which is why the larger cards need one and this does not.

AN UNPOPULATED BOARD IS WORTH CATALOGUING AS SUCH - it is not a faulty card but an unfinished one, and knowing which chips it takes is what would make it usable again.
