Title: I Doubt that

I can use it, but it was going to be thrown away anyway so why not ask? It is a Memory upgrade module, with 128 MB 100MHz DIMM. I REALLY doubt it has any use in robotics, but what the heck? may as well.

lol seconded



I THINK what hes asking is if he can hook up that 128MB to an MCU and use it to store his programming and data?

each individual chip on the dimm will have some text printed on it, if you can find a datasheet from this text, it will tell you how to interface the individual chip, obviously just follow the traces to see what pins terminate where on the connector, I was going to try and use one a few weeks ago, but it was a really old 16 mb module, and i decided to wait until i had something more powerful to play with. There should be no reason why you cant use it, you should also see a slightly different chip on the board i presume would be for storing register data in but you can probably get away without using it and do the registers yourself
