[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] Will Mac simms work on an STE ?

dicks@syma.sussex.ac.uk (Richard J Stevenson) (02/16/91)

I've been offered two 256K simms (spec to follow) from a Mac Plus.
What I want to know is whether I can fit them to my 520Ste (it does
have simm sockets) and whether they will work or not. The specs for 
the Mac simms are as follows.....  25{ K * 8 (256K * 8), 150ns.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have 512K (with 2 256K SIMMs) in your 520STe, the 256K 
SIMMs should work fine and give you a total of one meg of RAM.  If 
they don't, I'd sure like to know.
