- 2010-01-12 During the developement of my RAMDisk board I had a very good discussion with Bil Herd, the principal design er of the Commodore Plus/4, C16/C116, and the much more successful Commodore 128, in which I learned a lot about hardware design in a mass production setup. Here is a summary of our discussion about the use of DRAM and schematics and board design in general.
