Louis,
The 8Mb board has 8 x 1Mb 30 pin SIMMS hanging on the back (normally solder
side) of the full length board, 2 near the front and 6 at the rear. What's
the 4Mb got ?, I havn't seen one.
BTW I'm fairly certain the SIMMS are standard PC type 30 pin SIMMS that are
virtually free these days, or can be had for a few bucks. I bought mine with
the card as it was only a few dollars more than a bare card.
SIMMS on mine are 70ns 8 chip (no parity), I guess as thats what most 30pin
SIMMS are, but I think anything under 150ns should work if such a beast
exists. Also non-parity should work, but it just won't use it.
