ram problems

[sy35]

HI can any one tell me how i can get my ram card to work on my ace. It is in the I/O expansion slot but it is not working. Is there some thing i need to do to tell the x68000 to make it work. The card that i have is SH-6BE-2/4M-1 - Memory expansion board it is the one the loos like it could be the 4m one.
thanks

Hi sy35,

The minimal requirement of the SH-6BE-2/4 is to already have 2MB of RAM. See this page :

Because stock ACEs have only 1MB, you need an extra 1MB card inside first.
The CZ-6BE1A is designed for this purpose :

BTW, have you managed to get your ACE working again ?
