EXTRA MEMORY: Gobs of it! A TS-2068 that has twenty times the maximum capacity of a IBM XT! Do pictures and proof schematics lie? An interesting article by Mr. Charles Bothner sets the technical basis for our cottage industry to provide more memory expansion hardware.
Did you modify the TS-1000 as per the January UP-DATE (Dock Bank Memory for 20 cents)? Well, I did and the durn thing didn’t work right. So, I sent the board to John Oliger with a limit placed on repair cost. It came back and now it works ($15.00 repair cost). Seems that one little detail was left out of the modification instructions. Gotta remove a feed through on the board. Now the “twin 32K dock bank Ram” sits in my expansion port most of the time, ready to take basic programs and utilities for instant operation. There is a “kind of” multitasking capability here, where a dock bank utility can generate data in the vars area to be used with a basic program in the home bank. I think that I’ll try adding a battery to it to make it non-volatile memory so that when the computer is turned OFF, the data will remain. If successful I’ll tell you about it.
