[deleted some other stuff]

The 512K and 2 meg SIMMs will work with the IIsi and ci.  I'm not sure if it
will work with the LC tho'.

so for the IIsi memory configuration, don't forget the 1 meg already on board:
empty slots:	1 meg (really useful :)
4 x 256K SIMMs:	2 meg
4 x 512K SIMMs: 3 meg
4 x 1meg SIMMs:	5 meg
4 x 2meg SIMMs:	9 meg
4 x 4meg SIMMs:	17 meg

So that's (not counting empty slots) 2,3,5,9 and 17.  With System 7.0, 2 megs
will not be sufficient if using on board RAM for video.
