System Support of Planar Memory Sizes (by Fred Spencer, original HERE)

On the initial 8580 models, only 1 MB and 2 MB planar memory modules were available. With the announcement of the 25 MHz planars (8580-Axx), 4 MB memory cards became available. However, it has been discovered that they will function on the 20 MHz planars (thanks to Tim Clarke and Joe Kovacs for this discovery). A summary table of my experiences using various sizes of memory cards in each of the three categories of planars follows:

Note 1: 16 MB planar can use 4 MB card, but can only use 2 MB. [ed.]

Note 2: ER. 225 is the POST Error Code resulting from having memory that is too slow.

Note 3: On some 20 MHz planars with 4 MB memory cards on the planar, the IBM diagnostics will occasionally fail, but the memory will still function OK. With the PIICEON 4 MB (70 ns) memory card the IBM diagnostics may also fail. However, both the IBM and PIICEON 4 MB memory cards will function properly and they do pass the Norton Utilities memory diagnostics without any problems. I will be doing more investigation regarding this.

Planar Memory Pinout

The Type 1, 2, and 3 system boards are equipped with two 3- by 32-pin system board memory connectors. A memory card must be installed in connector 1 before additional memory can be used in the channel.

The following figure shows the pin locations of the 3- by 32-pin system board memory connectors. The pin locations are the same for connectors 1 and 2. Connector 1 is closest to the power supply. Pin 32 is closest to the rear of the system board.

Note:
   * Type 3 only, Reserved on Types 1 and 2

-MW: -Memory Write

-MA(0 - 8): -Memory Address (0 through 8)

-RAS(0 - 3): -Row Address Strobe (0 through 3)

-CAS(0 - 3): -Column Address Strobe (0 through 3)

-CASP: -Column Address Strobe Parity

MDP(0 - 3): Memory Data Parity (0 through 3)

MD(0 - 31): Memory Data (0 through 31)

-BE(0 - 3): -Byte Enable (0 through 3)

R: This signal is used with the 'T' signal (pin A32) by the Memory Card Definition register (POS Register 3) to indicate the presence of memory in each of the two system board memory connectors. See "Memory Card Definition Register" (pp 68) for additional information.

T1, T2: These signals are used with the 'R' signal (pin A17) by the Memory Card Definition register (POS Register 3) to indicate the presence of memory in each of the two system board memory connectors. See Section 2, "Programmable Option Select," (pp 61) for additional information.

-RAMHS: This signal is used by POS Register 4 to detect the memory speed.

Presence Detection

We are mainly interested in pins A17 & A32, wired on all Model 80 types, & pins A16 & A18, N/Cs on the Type 1 planars, wired for the Type 2 and 3 planars. An 'X' on the chart means the pin is tied to ground.

This explains why the 4 MB modules are treated as 2 MB in a Type 1 planar. I don't know if any of the presence detects signify memory speed. The chart above shows the newer 2 MB board. Another surprise is the little memory cards that go on the 2 - 6 MB 386 Memory expansion board are the same pinouts. Of course each board is 2 MB & the presence detect is the same as above. I don't believe this board was offered in any other capacity. You can use one of these little cards on the planar, although it has to be in the slot furthest from the power supply due to the keying & right-angle of the connector. At least the chips are conventional & marked as 85 ns.
