Is there a special IIci box needed, or can parity SIMMs usefully be put in to any IIci box? (I know that *all* SIMMs must be parity SIMMs if parity is to be enabled). -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: uunet!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@uunet.uu.net San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610

You not only need parity memory, but also the parity generating/checking hardware. Parity (9-bit) SIMMs will work on the regular IIci, but parity will not be generated or checked. noah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ noah@apple.com Mac IIci Hardware Design Team ...!{sun,decwrl}!apple!noah Apple Computer, Inc.
