HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP!!! I screwed it up! I had 4 256 Kbyte Ram chips for a MacPlus and 4 256 Kbyte Ram chis for a Mac II. But I kept them in the same place and now I can't tell them apart. Can you tell me which one is which? Set #1 says: -12 TIH8817C9SN TMS 4256FMC Singapore E TM4256HU8 -12L 8817 SNK N4V0 Set #2 says: MH25608J -15 Japan 63410T M5M4256J 63235A -15 Would the real Mac II RAM please step forward? Please Email answer! 10^6 thanks!

Set 1 has a marking of "12" These markings mean the speed of the chip. 12 stands for 120 nanoseconds. The Mac II needs these chips because of it's higher microprocessor speed. 15 stands for 150 nanoseconds. Most microcomputer systems use 15 nanosecond chips. 150 nanoseconds is appropriate for the Mac +, Mac SE, etc..
