(Sorry, don't have a hardware manual handy!) I've taken two memory boards out of one 4500 (4 meg apiece), and have added them to another 4500 that already had two memory boards. The boards don't have dip switches or anything settable on them. Distinguishing marks are "013081 Rev 02" and "4 / 8 MB MEM". When I try to boot the machine, the screen stays blank. I've tried removing the boards, doing "ex config", setting the machine for boards 3 & 4, and reinstalling the boards, but that doesn't do it either. There's obviously something more I need to do, but I don't have a manual handy for this beast. Is there a dip switch or a jumper I need to change in order to get all 4 boards recognized? Gee, it's so much easier to add memory to a Sparc :-) Thanks for any hints, I apologize for my apollo.ignorance.
