128Kb Expansion Card for CoBra Computer
After a lot of work ( months of testing and modifications to the basic schematic ),
a final version of this 128Kb RAM expansion card appears. With the help of the great
technicians from PCBWay, i have a PCB that i can connect to a Cobra motherboard
( a thousand thanks to the artists of the PCBWay ) . This board converts a normal
64Kb Cobra into a 128Kb Spectrum +3 compatible one .

I have prepared 2 boards : a "standard" version with normal sockets with blades
and a "DELUXE" version with augat pins, which I will connect to a Cobra that has
been waiting for this extension for a long time :

Unfortunately, the project is still a work in progress and I will be back with the
PROM, GAL and EPROM loads, and other construction details after the project is completed :
