Can anyone say what 4 Mbyte SIMMs can be bought to fit the NeXTstation
slab, currently with 8x1 Mb SIMMs installed? I have no info about what
type of memory is required, except a note from the Nov_90_NextAnswers
which states that 8 data bit, no parity, 30 pin SIMMs, with speeds better
than 100 ns, are required --- but for what? Nextstation or Cube or both?
I'd buy from NeXT, but no one is flush with cash up here right now.
Furthermore, does the replacement of 4 of the 1 Mb SIMMs leave one with
4x1 and 4x4 = 20 Mbytes of usable memory in the slab, and has anyone used the
1 Mbyte SIMMs that have been removed from the slab in a Mac II?
Apologies if a form of this query appeared already, I posted it last night
but we had some problem with the news.

This unnamed companies phone # is (405)332-6581. The same memory Simms are required for both the Station & the Cube (although, cube owners appear to worry about high vs. low profile SIMMs.) >Furthermore, does the replacement of 4 of the 1 Mb SIMMs leave one with >4x1 and 4x4 = 20 Mbytes of usable memory in the slab, and has anyone used the >1 Mbyte SIMMs that have been removed from the slab in a Mac II? > Yes, you are left with 16Mb in 1 bank and 4Mb in the other bank = 20Mb. SIMMs from the slab/cube are supposed to work in the Macs, but I haven't PERSONNALY tried it. Tyler

concerning adding RAM to a NeXTstation, please get the latest version
of NextAnswers from the archive(s) and look at the answer given to
the question regarding "adding RAM"... and yes, NextAnswers can be
accessed from Dig*Lib* by index.
