I've bought 2 1x9 80ns SIMMS to replace the 256k SIMMS which were part of the original equipment. I install the two SIMMS in bank 0, in the two right hand slots. (that is there are 4 slots with 2 recepticles in each, and I've used the two right hand recepticles in each of the two right hand slots) However, my machine won't boot up. I replace the 256k SIMMS and everything seems to work. Is there something I'm not doing right? Also, what do I have to do in order to have extended memory on my machine, and what is the difference from expanded memory? Please send me email as I don't get a chance to read this group on a regular basis.
