SIMM/DIMM memories

Post by joe-electronics »

Does anyone know how to use SIMM and/or DIMM memories in microprocessor projects? Or is it really too tough to bother with?

There is a project a while ago that I found...for a PIC processor, uses a SIMM for a media player!! It's just an example project, but all the code is there. Unfortunately, I lost everything when my laptop crashed, so I can't give you a link :( <p>But now you know it exists on the internet, so just keep looking!!<p>I have a couple SIMM chips that would be compatible if you're interested...

I've used em for some single board computers I've
made around the motorolla 68k family.<p>I built my own controller from a PLD, but I
think National Semiconductor or Fairchild
make a pre-packaged one now.<p>Pretty much all it is multiplexing your address
space for Row/column addresses, and adding in
some refresh routines. I'll see if I can't find
my old notes...<p>-Bill
