Re: Need help installing extra memory on a memory card.

[Wayne Stewart <waynes@intergate.bc.ca>]

The Apple IIgs memory expansion card holds a maximum of 1 meg.
Your Rom 1 has 256k built in. All together with this setup you
get 1.25 meg. Apple never built any large memory cards for the IIgs
themselves. They left that to other people. You can buy cards that go
as high as 8 megs for the IIgs if you want.
