Well, I finally did it.  I saved up my money, picked up the phone and ordered
2 megabyes of 80ns 1MegX4 static column zips.  An hour later the company I
ordered my memory from calls back and says "We have just been informed that
you must add these memory chips in increments of eight."  I said "Oh, you
must be confused... I wanted the 1MegX4 chips... not the 256KX4 chips."
To which the lady on the phone responded, "No, we were told that in order for
the 3000 to realize that you have installed memory, you must completely fill
a bank."  Now I'm stunned.  I have not heard anything about this on this
net... nor is it printed anywhere in the Introducing the Amiga 3000 manual.

Can someone enlighten me a little?  Is this really true?  I want to add 
1MegX4 chips but can't afford 4 megs right now.

Thanks,
