Hi,
   wondered if anyone who has upgraded an Atari STFM with DRAM's could help
me. I was planning on putting an extra couple of MEG in over the summer
and wondered if it was just as simple as soldering 16 * 1 MEG chips in.
I know that the STE is incapable of recognising 2.5 Megs of memory without
the aid of 'simmfix'. Is the STFM similarly affected when upgraded with
DRAM's ?
   One last thing. how fast does the access time of the DRAM's have to be.
Is 120 ns fast enough or does it need 100ns/80ns ?

I would be grateful for any help.
