Apple IIe RAM issue solved!

Hi,

I just got the new MT RAM chips for my Apple IIe, I installed them and everything's fine.

The much desired positive self-test response has arrived:

My new RAM array:

This data sheet for the Apple IIe says the right chips should be TMS4164-15, but I hope the MT4264-12 I installed would do the job as well as those.

Here2Learn,

thank you!

The date codes are between 8722 and 8732, so they're from May/August 1987.

They're so young, only 30 years old! Smile

By the time those chips were manufactured I think Micron had solved the reliability issues.
