I just purchased a used HiperArc, slapped it in and started poking around, the first thing I noticed was that it has half the memory as my original eg; Original ARC: DRAM = 131072 ROM = 16384 2nd ARC: DRAM = 65536 ROM = 8192 They are both of the same hardware Rev (19.0.0) Where can I find some memory modules for this card, or can I install some off the shelf stuff?

They will take off the shelf moduels, but I don't know the specs off the top of my head. I *think* I remember seeing info in the hardware manuals for the Arcs about it, but don't quote me on that. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Yah, I found the spec. Went to our memory cabinet and found that we don't have any 128MB EDO DIMM's , lots of 128/256MB ECC PC133 memory, but the notch in the chip is about 3mm off (I think this is the voltage notch). Any ways, I'm going to just order up the right stuff from our vendor, the ROM can't be upgraded I guess since I didn't see any other slot than for the DIMM. - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.

Guys, If you ever need to get memory for your ARC, do not buy "3COM" memory at $923.00 per stick (source tech), I just ordered a stick from my PC vendor (proper spec, etc) for $147.00 Good grief, talk about gouging the customer... - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.

Hi Mike. I would be eternally grateful if you would email me the spec for that memory. I work for a company using the ARC's but have no direct access to the boxes or the local vendor and plenty is not happening because "it's too expensive". I would love nothing better than to be able to price the memory locally and nail them with "so we could do 6 nases for the price of one". Cheers, Andrew Mike Greene wrote:

Was that 3.3V 128MB ECC EDO? If so: http://www.thechipmerchant.com/24068-0.html They've got a whole mess of stuff. I think someone just posted specs a while ago...

Hi Mike, Me too! Believe it or not I was just talking to our CEO about the cost of upgrading our TC HiPerARC memory yesterday! Please forward the information here as well. And Thanks in advance! Dave On Thu, 24 May 2001, Andrew Cutler wrote:

I see I created some interest in this one! :-) Here are the spec's, if you want to wait a couple days (I have not gotten my chip yet) to see if it does indeed work correctly I will post the results here... But at 150.00 approx, it may be worth the gamble to just go for it... You want the following: 168-pin 128MB EDO DRAM DIMM (5 volt) the difference between the normal DIMM chips is the voltage notch, 3.3v and 5v are slightly off by about 3mm. I'm sure Ingram, or Tech Data would carry it too, I didn't bother to check on our Ingram source, I just called Equus Computers (they have offices in 14 states) we get nearly 70% of our PC clones and parts from them. - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.
