Liking this legacy cards bro , madness with the volt mods and changing mem modules , epower and on SS , next level hardcore becnching bro , keep up the great work. This is gold ! congrats.
After swapping mems do you need to reflash, or it's just like desolder, solder new ones, and ready to go?
I used ICs with same organisation and density so this kind of replacement is safest. It could require timings mod but as i was swapping for better IC, didn't need to flash bios with looser timings.
Next step is 9200se 64bit. I wish to solder some hynix hy5du121622ctp-d43 (taken from usual memory module) - they have same width (16 bit - each ic, total of 4 ic) but x2 density of the stock card. I think it will also work without bios replacement but in worst case scenario I can try flashing bios of 256mb card (there are 2 256mb bioses from giga and sapphire @tpu). Otherwise it should just use 2 banks of 4 and be detected as 128mb (though 256mb will physically be present).
