The OctoRAMs will hold either 8 256K SIMMs, which makes 2 megs,
or 8 1 Meg SIMMs, which makes 8 megs.  I believe they use the
Mac SIMMs (8 chips per SIMM,) instead of the PC SIMMs (9
chips per SIMM).

I am not sure, however, if you can mix and match the 256K and
the 1 Meg SIMMs to make some other memory configuration.
