DTK RAM card

[Vlad]

Its a DTK RAM card, PEI-303 V2 386. Or so it says. Its only about half populated with chips. Looks like its ISA, but the slot part is on the back of the card instead of the front. There is also a little connector right at the front. The chips in the sockets all say KM41C1000BP-7 if thats any help. There is also a really long row of pins that span the exact length of the ISA connector and is right above it. Was this some kind of proprietary card or have I just not seen anything like it before? Except for being a little dusty, it doesn't look like its seen much use. Anyone know anything about it?

I suppose you would already have seen this:

Yeah, I came across that. Its not the right one, but very close. I didn't read it since it wasn't the right one. ;

Very close, but not it. That must be V1 I guess.

Sounds like a proprietary RAM card that has an additional connector for high speed access, and the pins above the ISA like connector is probably so you can add another 4 or 8 meg.

Yeah, I figured it couldn't be that easy.

Have you tried to contact DTK? That might be entertaining.

(Drill up one level, and you'll notice they're ISO 9001:2001 "Certificated"! Yeah!)

OOOO this does sound like fun. I'll drop DTK an email tomorrow and we'll see how it goes....
