ABSTRACT:
A memory expansion circuit for expanding computer memory capacity requiring a minimum of alterations to the host system is disclosed. The memory expansion circuit is parasitic in that it fully exploits address lines, data input and output lines, and control lines already available in the existing host computer system, and it is suitable for use with both static and dynamic memory devices. In a preferred embodiment, a bank of memory devices which responds to a single memory read or write operation in the host computer system is removed, and the parasitic memory circuit containing a number of banks of memory devices is inserted in its place thereby providing a software-selectable number of memory banks to replace the one removed. The method is particularly adaptable for use with contemporary 8-bit microprocessors and especially to systems which are not built around a buss architecture.
