personally, I'd love to see more of those developments because getting #NewOldStock or #KnownWorking #used #RAM can be a real nightmare and having something where one at worst can just chug a #PSRAM chip on, set a #DIP to limit it's size and a connector for the refresh power if needed may be a better option long-term...
Espechally with those super old systems where all the RAM modules are just on a single bus / channel and thus unless it's like #Rambus garbage one doesn't even need to terminate contacts but could in theory just make a system believe it's *"fully stacked"* with a single SIMM.
It'll also help people like [@ActionRetro](https://bitbang.social/@ActionRetro) having to [cannibalize machines to max some out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1XyeU6YyuE&t=640s)...
Also yean, some nice #NeoRetro #8bit machines would benefit from it as well...
