For sale: 2 256Kbit SIMMs in good working order (and one slightly
used resistor :-})
Yes, I did it. I upgraded my SE to 2.5Megs. Now I am wondering
what to do with the old SIMMs. Does Apple have any interest in
buying these back? Does anybody know who might want to buy them?
After all, they're perfectly good SIMMs. They must be good for
something?

I sold my 2 256K SIMMs to a fellow with a Mac II -- he's putting them in his spare memory slots. Didn't get much for them ($40); besides, he's a friend.

Didn't get much for them ($40); besides, he's a friend. To fill up the empty slots in my OnePlusOne board (Levco's 1->2 Meg expansion board for the Plus) I plugged in 2 256Kers (and cut two jumpers), bringing my machine to 2.5 Megs. I bartered away about $35 worth of goods to a friend for the 256K SIMMs. Grobbins.

Didn't get much for them ($40); besides, he's a friend. Your friend will be unpleasantly surprised to find that adding two SIMMs to a Mac II doesn't work. I hope he doesn't damage the machine or the SIMMs. Once again: The Mac II is a 32 bit machine. We must add memory in 32-bit-wide chunks. Each SIMM is eight bits wide. Therefore, we must add four at a time. Stew Rubenstein Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc.

Didn't get much for them ($40); besides, he's a friend. Hope he got two more somewhere else, otherwise the two you sold him are useless. Once again, memory goes into the SE and Plus in pairs, but into the Mac II in 4's. If he needs two more, have him give me a call.

edwards@bgsuvax.UUCP (Bruce Edwards) (12/11/87)
Has anyone out there seen any hardware articles onn using the 256 SIMMs
and a little PC board of artful design to upgrade the 128K or 512K
Macs with additional memory. I remember Dr. Dobbs a long time ago
had an article or two on upgrading the thin Macs to 512K could that
circuit be modified to use the 256K SIMMs or are they real exotic
when it comes to addressing or something equally bizarre?
Particularly I would like to take a 128K Mac and 2 x 256K SIMMs and
end up with a 512K (plain vanilla) Mac (E in 512E not necessary).
Thanks

If you have a friend with a IIGS, they could use the SIMMs (a trademark of Wang Laboratories) if they buy the OCTORAM card. -- Steve Ligett steve.ligett@dartmouth.edu or (decvax harvard ihnp4 linus)!dartvax!steve.ligett
