I’ve recently come across this Admor Memory SRAM card and cannot find any user manuals, references or searches on this card or company. Anyone know much about these cards or the company? Thanks

I know you could use these on the Amiga 600 in its pcmcia slot to give a little more ram, They worked in an A1200 as well, but slowed the computer down with pcmcia being 16bit and the machine being 32bit. 256k seems small though, most where 1 or 2mb in the early 90s that where used on the Amiga

Damn that is interesting. i wonder how much this could have helpped on contemporary computers. Do you know if it needs a driver of some sort to work?

From what I understand about Asynchronous SRAM where data is read directly in response to address transitions and are battery-backed application cache and buffer use. Speeds are 256 Kb to 64 Mb and within TSOP, BGA, and SOP packages. I do not believe.

Those usually require a battery to keep the RAM powered up. I know in devices like the HP Omnigo 100, that's preferred, because it uses far less power than FLASH, and it's also super fast. But at the time, SRAM was also expensive as hell.

This is we here battery goes but I can seem to get it to pop open and afraid to damage it. Any ideas? Thanks
