[Coco] Announcing 512KB Static Ram Memory PCBs Using Through Hole Chips

Thu Mar 12 15:41:58 EDT 2015

Hi -- I am interested in getting one. Please excuse the newbie question,
but how is it installed? Would I need to remove the exisiting memory and
clip the two caps like the cloud9 upgrade?

Thanks
