 Also, Computer Care in Minneapolis makes a board called a SoftStep
 III, which allows you to take four 256K low-profile SIMMS and create
 one 1M SIMM for a Mac II or IIx.  They work fine; we've got a couple
 of Mac II's with 8 of these boards in them, using 32 256K SIMMS as
 if they were 8 1M SIMMS.  Each board costs just a little less than
 lowest price I've seen for a 1M SIMM, so they're cost effective if
 you got Mac IIs/IIxs and some 256K low-profile SIMMS lying around.
