To make the Mac II CX 5 MB, are the original 4 256K SIMMs removed and placed in the empty banks or are the 1 MB SIMMS put in the empty banks and the 256's just kept where they were? Caglan M.

As a rule of thumb,RAM BANK A always contains the HIGHEST DENSITY RAM chips. In other words, you MUST swap the RAM banks on a CX before upgrading from 1 Meg to 5 Megs... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal Gosselin | gosselin@clik.qc.ca | SIMCO, Inc. - A division of Computer Connection | uunet!clik.qc.ca!gosselin | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually it'll be wrong. I always followed that rule of thumb until the Mac IIci came out. It's reversed.
