SDRAM Logic Analyzer Uses An AVR And A Dirty Trick

We often see “logic analyzer” projects which are little more than microcontrollers reading data as fast as they can, sending it to a PC, and then plotting the results. Depending on how fast the ...

Are there any SDRAM to EDO converters

With the RAM prices the way they are, and the fact that I have to install EDO memory in pairs (it's cheaper to get 2 128MB PC133 DIMMS than 1 64MB EDO SIMM), I was wondering if there's any product ...
