I have a Classic 2/40. Does this mean that there's 1 MB soldered on the motherboard and 4 slots filled with 256K SIMMs? I'm looking to get more memory and a lot of the magazine ads talk about adding an expansion card to the Classic. Do I need this expansion card or can I get 4 1 MB SIMMs to replace the 256K SIMMs for a total of 5 MB? My feeling is that you need an expansion card for the 1 MB Classic. Thanks in advance, Ken

I think it means that you have 1 meg soldered on the motherboard, and you
have an empty 2-simm slot expansion board with 1 meg soldered on it. You
can buy two 1 meg simms to put in these slots for a total of 4 meg. The
Classic ROMs won't access any more than that.
Cheers,
Alan
