From the project
FM1608 to 5101 ram adapter
This is a small adapter board to use inexpensive DIP FM1608 FRAM memory chip in games that require a 5101 static ram to save ram contents during power off so a battery is no longer required.
For example, it can be used in Midway Omega Race or Williams Defender.
A 74HCT00 ic is required to handle the 5101's dual chip enable lines.
This design has been tested in a Defender, and appears to work well.
