I have an Applied Engineering RAM Keeper, AE GS+ memory board,
and the Apple memory board that came with my IIgs. The Apple board
has 256K of soldered RAM and 256K of locally obtained RAM for a
total of 512K on the Apple board (The AE has 1 meg).

When I boot with the Apple card in the back pocket and the AE card in
the front I get a "ROK" message that tells me  that I don't have
either 512K or 1Meg on the Apple card.

I called AE and they said that the soldered chips (TMS 4256 - 15
NLA) were on their, "do not use list," and the locally obtained
chips were on their, "recommended list." The advised me to see my
Apple dealer.

My Apple dealer consulted AppleLink and it said that:
TMS 4256 - 15 NL were recommended, thus they didn't see where
Apple had a problem in this matter.

Now the question, is there a difference between:
TMS 4256 - 15 NL and TMS 4256 - 15 NLA chips?

If so, where can I get documentation that my dealer and Apple will
believe?

If not, what is the going rate for an Apple board with 512K that
works perfectly when not used in conjunction with the AE RAM keeper?
