[presumably that's 256Kbit]

I've heard that they must also be "CAS before RAS",
which leads to my own question:

I have an MDIdeas OctoRAM and would like to add memory to it.
It takes SIMMs, but it's not clear to me that Macintosh SIMMs would work,
because when I looked in a Mac tech manual it described Mac memory as
being accessed RAS before CAS.
So, will 120ns Mac SIMMs work in the OctoRAM in my IIGS, and if not
where can I purchase SIMMs that will work?  (4 1Mbyte ones desired.)
