Re: Install Second SDRAM without Digital IO board

Sorry to pick this up again. I have a V2.5 SDRAM stick and wanted to order a second one. Is this voltage problem a general problem with V2.5? So if I wan't to run any setup with two SDRAM sticks do I always need version 2.9 sticks? Regards, Michael I don't remeber wich PCB version were my ram sticks, but with both installed i had problems with man...

Looking at the schematics of the digital io board there is an IO expander tha...
