Title: Is possible to detect btw. GeoRAM/NeoRAM ?
Post by: MIRKOSOFT on December 15, 2010, 07:00 AM

Hi!


I found some tips on web how to programming GeoRAM.




I have simple Q:


Is possible to detect between GeoRAM and NeoRAM type?




I'm not sure how to detect btw. REU and Geo/NeoRAM, but I found st. about registers of GeoRAM.


Else one Q?


Is correctly that BBGRAM = Baterry Backuped GeoRAM ?




Many many thanks for every help.

Miro, I don't know a whole lot about bbgram but I know they were put out by Performance Peripherals and were later made available through LynnCarthy Industries (publishers of dieHard mag). To my knowledge Berkley Softworks had nothing to do with bbgram. But they required 4 D batteries! Talk about added weight to device.

I have a question for you. What is NEOram? I've never heard of it.

Hi!


NeoRAM is RAM Expansion very similar to GeoRAM, so there are not many differences btw.
For this was asking in this thread.
About NeoRAM look at:
