Hey Folks, I have a (yet another) question regarding simms. Has anyone ever heard of "piggy-backing" four 256K simms on a board to make a 1meg. SIMM? Well when I opened my Mac+ the other day to upgrade from 2megs to 2.5megs that was what one of the simm slots contained. Neither I or the tech who was helping me to install the extra RAM had ever seen (or heard) of such a thing. Does anyone out there know anything about this strangeness? My next problem/question is that my mac isn't recognising the new RAM that I've installed. I've cut the proper resistor and all but the beast just wont recognise the extra RAM. I can only geuss that it might be one of two things. Fist the strange RAM already installed or another piece that I know very little about called a "MaxPlus" made by MacMemory Inc. it is supposed to be some sort of "RAM saver". It is a board that is inserted into two of the ROM holders I know practicaly nothing about this device and would really appreciate and knowledge that could be passed my way regarding the thing. Even a phone number for the company would be helpfull. I'm anxious to get that extra RAM installed and working. Thanks in advance, Thatcher V.Hayward

We were thinking of getting some of their products, then the price of 1 meg simms dropped... -- Brian Aslakson brian@cs.umn.edu (mail) aslakson@cs.umn.edu (talk) mac-admin@cs.umn.edu (Me!!)
