[comp.sys.sun] More memory to SPARCstation1

ks@tut.fi (Syst Kari) (02/01/90)

What are the exact requirements for the SIMM memory modules for
SPARCstation1 ?  Is access-time 100ns enough or should it be faster ?  If
so called "block-mode" (what ever it is...) required ?  What is the width?
8,9 or 10 bits ?  Can I get them in 4MB modules ?

That's fine.

| If so called "block-mode" (what ever it is...) required?  

Nope.

| What is the width?  8,9 or 10 bits?

9

| Can I get them in 4MB modules?

Yes.  We buy the same 1Mx9 SIMMs that work in your average PC clone (can
get up to 16Mb in one machine), but you can buy 4Mx9 as well (stuff up to
64Mb in each machine!).  Look in the book that came with the machine if
you're going to try mixing densities.
