[comp.sys.mac] Surprise, Surprise... 100ns SIMMs in a Mac SE/30!

moriarty@tc.fluke.COM (Jeff Meyer) (03/11/89)

Opened up the back of my new Mac SEx (a.k.a. Mac SE/30) to install some
256K, 120ns chips and upgrade my machine to 5 Megs.  And what to my
wondering eyes should appear but... 4 100ns 1Meg SIMMs!  This is a surprise
-- I thought the Mac II, Mac IIx and Mac SE/30 only needed 120ns SIMMs.  Is
Apple getting a good deal on faster, 100ns chips, or is there a reason for
this?  Future software? (No problem -- just wanted to make sure my 120ns
SIMMs weren't going to be causing problems.  I mean, I can sacrifice and go
back to 4 Megs... :-) ).

BTW, having opened up my Mac Plus multiple times, I'd just like to
compliment Apple on how easy it is to get the Mac SEx board in and out of
the machine.  Makes the Plus look like Alcatraz (which it wasn't).

                           "For the last 14 years,
                            Mr. Ed has lived in a
                            small town in northern
                            California, where he
                            hosts a local radio
                            show."
                                                     "The subject tonight is
                                                      Nazi tranvestites.  I'm
                                                      Mr. Ed; talk to me."
