A very close friend of mine asked me to find 16 meg RAM chip for WK8SE.
I was able to find it here in the US.
The problem is that there are two types.
One is parity (9 chip) and the other one is nonparity (8 chip).
We both do not know which one to use it with WK8SE.
He tried to contact GEM but could not get any response so far.
If any one of you knows for sure what type RAM chip needs to be used to upgrade the WK8SE, I would really appreciate the information.
Here are the two types I found:
16 MEG 70 NS 30 PIN parity - (9 chip)
16 MEG 70 NS 30 PIN nonparity - (8 chip)

Hi fkara. According to the picture show on the accessories page for the wk8se the simms are 9 chip 30 pin simms.

Select wk8se and scroll down to simm modules. Hope this helps.

Thanks Vic

I checked it out. That's what I thought at the beginning, yet we wanted to be sure of it since I will buy the units here in the US and mail it o Sweeden. I am still waiting to hear from GEM and other users.

Regards,

Either of the modules you suggested should work fine with the WK. We've tried many different types - parity and non-parity, 8 chip, 9 chip and even the cheapo 3 chip types that were doing the rounds - and they all seemed to work just fine. As long as the speed is 70ns or faster, (i.e. a lower number) they should work.

I know its been awhile since this post, but perhaps you've got the answer. I've installed two 16 MB chips into my SK880, but the keyboard won't recognize them. I don't have any instructions. What else do I have to do to get my SK880 to recognize the added 32 MB of RAM?
