To get 2.5meg with SIMMs on an ST/Mega, you need a JRI SIMM board (I 
don't know of anyone else who distributes them in the US, but there 
may be quite a few in Europe), 2 one-meg SIMMs, and 2 256K SIMMs.  
You cannot use 10 256K SIMMs and get 2.5meg because of the way things 
are designed.  I would explain the reason to you, but I don't know it 
either.  Just take my word for it. :^D
