My XT project is coming along swimmingly, and I've been fooling around with classic games. For the first time ever I plugged a CGA card into a TV and got to experience Composite mode and it's extended colors. That was fun. I got a CH game card ('1985') and it works fine with the box of old...

My IBM 5160 has 512K on the motherboard in the first two memory banks. It had an AST SixPakPlus board that took it up to 640k. I've pulled that out for now, and am interested in populating the motherboard the rest of the way up to 640k. But, I can't figure out the right memory to use based on...
