hi Kat
now i am curious.  i think i still have some old manuals for memory 
boards. i started computing with an S100 system (cromemco)(pre-ibm pc) 
and had added a 'ram drive' to it. is that your project?
i had bought the ram drive already assembled.

i had thought i seen a ram drive using simms one time, while browsing 
the internet. it may even had been external.
myself , i have always liked removable/expandable storage ideas.
hmm. to create a juke box with those flash memorys , now that would be a 
project. so the memory would not end up in landfills.
