I have a NeXTstation that came with the standard 8 meg of memory.
I happen to have a set of 4 spare 1 Mbyte SIMMS.  Can I put these in
my NeXTstation to get 12 meg of memory?

In a Monochrome (and I believe the color nextstation, but not having opened
one I can not tell) you can put only eight (8) main memory simms on the cpu
board.  These simms can be either 1 Mbyte or 4 Mbyte variety.  You can
mix and match 1 and 4Mbytes in groups of four (with the exception of
some special 4mbyte simms that you can put in pairs), however you can
not mix parity and non-parity without the next machine getting upset at you.

So to answer your question: NO, not unless you remove some 1Mbyte
simms and replace them with 4Mbyte ones... which obviously is not
the question you are asking:-)

NextAnswers covers this topic quite clearly.  I recommend that people
get together in their geographical regions to have NextAnswers accessible
to them.  A lot of answers can be found on-line through Next Answers or
the complete documentation set... However the problem is that the
whole documentation set is not available in the reduced 2.0 distribution
and not everyone has internet access...
