Hmm I would have to replace all 24 chips to see if the Trump Card works... An expanderam has 16. Now from 4 working uncased expanderams, I have a right mixture of 10ns, 12ns and 15ns (some have mixed ones, but only 24 of the 15ns chips, so I guess I will have to try those) I noticed the oscillator i...

As for the 3D Battle Tanks Game - surely you mean Tankbusters - http://www.rwapadventures.com/ql_wiki/index.php?title=Tankbusters&lang=en I never tried Fleet Tactical Command...
