How is memory added to the board?  I.e., assuming I've got 5 MB on my IIcx now,
if I pull the 4 MB off and transfer it to the Rocket, am I then finished, or
will the board require another four 1 MB simms??  Or, can I add one or two
4-MB simms in addition to the 4 1-MB simms I just added?

The info I got from radius says dram requirements are:
                256K x 8,  1M x 8,  4M x 8,  16M x 8

so, does this mean that there are 8 slots on the card, and they *all* have to
be filled w/ the *same* size simm?  Or do we get to mix and match, and leave
slots vacant?

hi,

i have a rocket configuration question.
is there any benefit of putting more than 1 MB on the motherboard??
and if i turn off the rocket from the control panel, is there any way i can 
still access the eight megs on the rocket board?? (is it even possible to
boot up with only 1Mb under system 6.0.7??)

thanks in advance, 
and please reply via e-mail to:

lito@ecl.psu.edu

ps.  language systems fortran compiles REAL quick with the rocket turned on.

Can 16M simms be used on the Rocket board?
