It's similar to a RAMLink. More info here:

Pretty cool. $200 for 2 Megs... a bit pricy... but what us Commie lovers won't spend our money on!
I had never heard of this device. Thanks for the link airship! I seem to recall a similar battery-backed RAM-type unit for the 64/128. I'm thinking it was the "Quick Brown Box" or something similar... that's what I thought of when I looked at the eBay auction, but of course QBB != BBG and airship's link confirms it...

BBG Ram is a different item from Quick Brown Box. BBG Ram was developed by Performance Peripherals and imported from Europe. It maxed out at 2 meg of RAM. Quick Brown Box was developed in the U.S. and maxed out at 256K of RAM.
