An other new instance for Elmer's plan. Just after the first Power On. There was two reason to rebuild this nice memory extension. Tell the truth, previously I had an 1 MB card from Sebastian Kotek and it works fine, without problems.
First of all I need a second memory card for my second Enterprise. The other goal is to learn, how to soldering Surface Mounted Devices. I know the Enterprise hw, Z80 Assembly and memory mapping and I had knowledges in "traditional" 1/10 inc, hole mounted TTL electronics, but I always tried to avoid the SMD in my hobby projects.
The main steps in short:
1. download the ep64-1536kb-sram-board.zip from this topic
2. Start the online EasyEda
3. Generate a blank project and inport the sch and pcb files from the zip.
4. Click to Order PCB.
(I ordered the IC-s and capacitors separated from the PCB.)
5. The pcb arrived in 10 days or less.
6. I visited my collegaue and asked, I want to watch the mount process.
He was very helpfull and I think I able to proceed similar actions in the future.
7. The mainboard of the Enterprise was ready to receive the memory board because of the previous memory extension. I had to reorganize the adress and power wires in a new 10 pole connector case only.
I am going to test the new extension on the next days.
Thanks to Elmer for the free design and Endre for the soldering lesson.
