Looking for an EMS card...

[Cloudschatze]

I'm trying to obtain an 8-bit (or 8/16-compatible) EMS card that is LIM 4.0-compliant, and has at least 2MB RAM. The card needs to be less than 10-inches in length, that I might use it in a Tandy system.

A few such candidates are the Intel Above Board, Micro Mainframe EMS-5150(T), Acculogic RAMpAT Plus, and PC Enterprises XTRA-K.

Have anything that fits the bill that you might be willing to sell/trade? Please let me know...

Interesting. I didn't know Acculogic RAMpAT Plus could be used in an 8-bit slot.

Interesting. I didn't know Acculogic RAMpAT Plus could be used in an 8-bit slot.

I'm only assuming it can, based on two references stating that it will work in the later Tandy 1000 systems.

That said, I imagine that the "RAMpAT Plus" must be different than the "RAMpAT!", because I've now tried two of the latter, and have been disappointed to discover that they will not work in 8-bit slots.

$35.00? Anyone?

I'd also be happy to swap for my recently-acquired RAMpAT!. Up to 16MB (four 30-pin SIMMs) can be loaded onto the card, but alas, it requires a 16-bit slot.

Bump.

I'm still looking for any of the cards in the original post. In addition, Invisible Software's "Invisible EMS" can be added to the list.

Are you still looking for one of these boards? If so, I can confirm that the documentation for the RAMpAT Plus states that it will work in an 8-bit or a 16-bit ISA slot. At one point I had one of each RAMpAT! and RAMpAT Plus, but I am only aware of having the Plus now.
