Apple II, II+, and IIe with 128 kB of
|
|
Language Card and Saturn-compatible
|
|
expansion memory.

Low-Power, SRAM-Based Design
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Thanks to a modern, low-power design,
|
|
RAM2GS II uses a maximum of 0.1 watts when idle
|
|
(20 mA @ 5V) and 0.2W in active use (40 mA @ 5V).
|
|
Unlike other Apple II expansion RAM cards, which are
|
|
built with vintage asynchronous DRAM chips,
|
|
RAM2GS II uses modern SRAM. This design allows for
|
|
low power consumption and improved reliability
|
|
over other memory cards using 15+ year old chips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ecologically Friendly, Gold-Plated PCB
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
GW4208A features a lead-free, ENIG gold-plated
|
|
PCB and is fully EU RoHS-compliant.
|
|
All units are tested extensively before shipment.
|
|
Only new parts are used to build GW4208A,
|
|
and all GW4208A cards are manufactured in our
|
|
semi-automated facility in Columbus, Ohio,
|
|
in the United States.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open-Source Design
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
GW4208A's design is fully open-source.
|
|
The schematics, board layouts, and
|
|
CPLD firmware, are all freely available
|
|
for commercial and noncommercial use.
