Ideally, 8 - 1M x 1 chip SIMMs work best, or
SIMMs with 9 chips, being that parity is not
important or necessary.

IIRC, 2 and 3 chip SIMMs do not work at all.

SIMM banks are from top to bottom, however,
this could depend on which revision of the
card you have, as I believe in the beginning,
they went bottom to top. The very first one
did have jumpers, but, I realized that most
folks would simply desire a full 4MB, so I
left them off.

I have SIMMs, if you want, I can test a set
and send them to you.
