Looks like the Japanese have made a Compact ram upgrade kit

Pretty affordable if you ask me. Well, I mean, everything is relative, and Japanese vintage PC's are a high baller hobby to begin with. Well, they weren't to begin with, but they certainly have become so in the last 3 years or so.

Get them while they are hot!

Wow cool!

Anyone interested in buying a few, assembling then and selling at a (small?) profit?

They also sell them assembled for a fistful of 1000¥ more on Yahoo auctions.

My XVI currently only has 2mb of ram, so I may jump on this. That price seems pretty reasonable I think, but I may have to go for the pre-soldered one since I haven't quite learned that skill just yet.

Thanks for linking this!

Though if someone would be willing to do this I'd be in for it

Looks like there is even a FPU slot on the module.

This will only work on the Compact.  XVI internal RAM board is completely different.
