SG-1000 Mark II - 2KB RAM MOD
Post Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:12 pm
Some SG-1000 IIs have a 2KB RAM chip on the motherboard instead of the usual 1KB chip.

The 2KB chip is a Toshiba TMM2116AP-15 but it is configured to use only the first 1024 bytes (1KB).

By cutting a track and making a jumper, you can enable all RAM (2KB).

Enjoy.

Or you could lift that pin so that you don't cut the trace, which is less drastic...

You are right if you have already desoldered the chip.
