Could somebody tell me where best to order a 2Meg SIMM memory
upgrade (i.e. from SE with 1Meg to 2.5Meg), and for what price ?
At Programs Plus they mentioned a waiting time of about 2 months
due to memory chip shortage. Is this true?
Thanks in advance,

here is a dumb question. If I buy the chips for a memory upgrade are there instructions included? Can a software computer install the chips and upgrade his MAC SE? I am tron between having someone do it and doing it myself. Any comments? Thanks Bob

Yeah but that wait only happens when I boot. I really don't have to wait long during the rest of the day with those 4 megs ready to do my bidding. If you schedule right, and start your machine before you get out your projects, you won't even notice that delay while those lovely 4 megs do their warm-up!

I believe that this thread was started by an SE (?) owner who added memory to his system, and afterwards experienced longer cold startup times. I have encountered the same wait that he expressed, but only when I upgraded from 1M to 2.5M. When I subsequently upgraded to 4M, I no longer experienced this wait. I would like to note, however, that the memory test seemed to run just long enough for the SCSI bus to timeout. I am using an internal 45M Seagate 157N. While the system was doing the memory test, the drive would become ready. For some reason, the SCSI bus check would have to try a second time to find the drive. I never, however, experienced a situation where this would make my system un-bootable. My guess is that whichever SCSI drive you are using is ready some given time _before_ the memory test is done. This, in turn, causes a time lapse between the completion of the memory test and the recognition of your drive. BTW, does anyone believe this could be a problem with the driver itself? I have also changed drivers since my upgrade to 4M... possibly this could have had something to do with this.
