Slightly off topic - but...
On my Max32 there are 8 30 pin simm sockets with 4 populated.
I don't have power to the machine yet so I can't "try" anything.
But I was wondering if more mem could be added and if I did would the software use it. ( I have plenty of 30 pin RAM )
I'd love to pump it up to 32MB and maybe configure a ramdisk for large NC files. :)
As is I want to clone my HDD before I get too far.
Enough musing and rambling from me. :wave:
Re: Ultimax II Memory board batteries
Dear Bloke ,
I have km3p with ultimax controller it ran ok few months before but as I have my machine out of power due to some construction work in factory and when I started the machine I am getting multiple problems in the machine . First I have to use enter 999 enter to go to next screen then in manual mode when I tried to reset servo or calibrate the machine x axis motor oscillates making machine to vibrate and on text screen I get error " lead screw checksum map error . invalid data or errased, what would be the problem and what should I do . Your advice and help in the matter will be highly appreciated.
Re: Ultimax II Memory board batteries
I have 1984 KM3P which has an error lead screw checksum map failed . Data invalid or erased . what would be the problem and what is the solution . My machine memory board has 4 Dallas rams.
Re: Ultimax II Memory board batteries
what if I have lost all memory . this is because I am getting error message " leadscrew map checksum failed . Invalid data or erased. I think tlhis is memory loss problem . Is this true . lif so please help me and guide me as to what I should do . there are many problems coming suddenly in my km3p as it was in storage for almost an year without power.

Re: Ultimax II Memory board batteries
I am not an expert on these machines. I do own a 87 KM3 which was a MAX II and a 91 KM3P which was upgraded to a MAX32 before I obtained it. That said, I try to collect as much info as I can to allow me to support my own machines.
If your mem board has the Dallas memory chips installed then you will need to get the board modified to add batteries and the Dallas chips replaced with SRAM. I was under the impression that the older MAX II machines used DIP switches or jumpers to define backlash, but honestly I really don't know.
