I was told that the 8 Meg nextstations use 1 meg simms, and fill all their slots, so that if you wanted to upgrade the memory you would have to replace the old rams with 4 meg simms. I was wondering if the simms used are compatible with other manufacturers at all. e.g. if I upgrade the memory at some later date do I simply end up throwing away 8 megabytes of memory because no one can use them? (except for next, of course) -castor fu castor@fizzle.stanford.edu

They should be usable in Macs just fine. Don't know about PCs, but that's
such a wide open market, anyhow.
Also, you need not throw out all of them. You can get 4 4M simms and
replace four of the 1 M ones, for a grand total of 20M. I plan to do
that, and try to sell the 1M to various Mac users about our campus
(heck, $160-$200 wouldn't be that bad).
