I read here a week or so ago that someone thought that the 256K SIMMS from the MacSE were 120ns, Mac II compatible. Does anyone know if this is really true? Is there a way to tell from looking at the numbers on the chips? If they are Mac II compatible, I am willing to sell them. I have two of them and would let them go for $100 as a pair.

I have a plus that I purchased in Jan of '88, and it has 150ns chips. Also, I have done upgrades on several SE's that are relatively new... and I have seen both 120 and 150 ns chips. I have even seen an SE with 120 and 150 in the same bank!!! (I understand taht this is not supposed to be a functional configuration). Anyhow, the whole point here is... if the chips have a number ending in 12, they are 120ns, if the number ends in 15, they are 150ns... and if then end in 10, they are 100ns. Only 120 or faster work in the II. Now that that is all said and done... I have 4x256K SIMMS, 120ns, for sale... If anyone is intersted, I will entertain offers..... (I also have a whole slew of 150ns simms... if anyone really wants them.) Keith elliston@rob.uucp -or- uunet!rob!elliston

I posted the original article by quoting Chris Espinosa who writes The Help
Folder in MacUser. However, several people replied both here and in the
mail that this simply isn't true. If there are any numbers on the chips,
why don't you post them and we'll see if there is a 12 or 15 on them
someplace.

In other words, they are 150ns simms. So I guess they aren't work much. Michael O'Rourke Disclaimer: don't sue me or i'll kill you.
