The back room is finally cleared so now I'm getting my 512K tidied up and cleaned before I fire it up for the first time (hopefully not the last) and then sorting out the 4xHD20s and SCSI HDD I've scrounged up for it. So, popped the 512K open to check the caps and general condition. Pleasantly surprised that the analogue board was in such good condition, all the caps look good, and no little puddles of destruction evident.

Pulled the motherboard out, and still looking good, but what's that down (up?) there?



Close up



SCARLAN MEGARAM ?? Never heard of it/them, but looks like I've got 512KB more than I expected

Not much dust, so a general clean, quick clean of the FDD (must check that eject motor later), put it back together and dropped in my Finder copy.

YAY! it boots.

Time to double check that RAM



So, has anyone familiar with SCARLAN MEGARAM upgrades? Not that I'm going to loose any sleep over it, but it'd be nice to find out about the company and upgrade.

Next weekend, try and find that HD20 INIT floppy that's hiding around here somewhere to start looking at the HD20s after they get their clean and check-ups before powering them on. Still got that first hacked up one I found years ago, so hopefully I can get one, or two of them operational.
