I have 2 card of this Ram called FastRam, they are HUGE cards. Does anyone have a computer they can use them with? I will post pics later
 
Although this board looks like a normal IBM PC expansion card (ISA bus), it's not. It's actually an AST Fastram board, designed for use in special RAM slots in AST 286 motherboards. Note the additional gold-plated edge connector on the bottom left-hand side of the board. The RAM chips are 256k by 1-bit DRAMs, so the total capacity is a staggering 2Mbytes. Only the first 512kbytes are soldered in; the rest are in sockets and have been added as upgrades.
