My GS (upgraded from its old //e days) has an MDIDeas OctoRAM card in it. It used ti have two megs, but since I upgraded my Mac II to a IIfx, I had some spare memory to take my GS up to 4 megs on the OctoRAM board. But I've misplaced my instruction card that had the memory jumper assignments is missing, and I need to know that the correct orientation for my card configuration is. Again, I have 4 1-meg SIMMS in the 1st four slots on the left side (i assume this is correct), and I need to know what the correct orientation the 5 jumpers that configure the memory so that I can be up and running again. Thanks for any help in this matter. I'm tearing my apartment apart to find the instruction card, but still no success. --Rick Ewing Vanderbilt University

I misplaced my instructions, and some folks on the net were nice enough to help me out. Here's my notes showing how the 5 switches should be set # of 256K SIMMs: 1 2 4 8 Switch 1 xxx xxx xxx xxx 2 xxx xxx xxx xxx 3 xxx xxx xxx xxx 4 xxx xxx xxx xxx 5 xxx xxx xxx xxx # of 1Meg SIMMs: 1 2 4 8 Switch 1 xxx xxx xxx xxx 2 xxx xxx xxx xxx 3 xxx xxx xxx xxx 4 xxx xxx xxx xxx 5 xxx xxx xxx xxx For example, if you have four 1-Meg SIMMs installed, the top switch should be in the left position and the rest should be to the right. > > Again, I have 4 1-meg SIMMS in the 1st four slots on the left side > (i assume this is correct), and I need to know what the correct You load the SIMMs starting with the two slots on the right side, then top-to-bottom on the left side. Funny how easy it is to misplace the instruction sheet! -- Dave Tribby
