(Person was having problems with 256K SIMMS in a Mac IIci)

According to my somewhat fuzzy memory, the SIMMS on a Mac IIci have
to be able to support burst mode.  This is found on most all 1 MegaBit
chips out there, but I think it is lacking on most 256 KiloBit chips.

If I remember correctly, the 256 K SIMMS that will work in a IIci
(and I would assume a IIsi, now) actually have only 1 1 MegaBit chip
on them, as opposed to 8 256 KiloBit chips.

Then again, it is finals week, and with the state I am in, I could just
be halucinating.
