Just took a pile of 4MB simms and installed them in the last
8 slots of my 8MB 040 cube to create a 40MB machine.

The new simms are 9-chip parity simms and the cube
absolutely refuses to boot with parity and non-parity
simms mixed.

1) Can I disable the mixed memory checking and run without
   parity?

2) Does someone make a tool for removing simms? My 
   two-little-screwdrivers-over-the-holes method
   is a pain.

I would RTFM but the system won't boot  :-(

Thanks
