I've seen memory prices posted in this group, but I haven't seen
anything telling me how to install memory in my slab.  (I've
checked the printed documentation, the FAQ list, and NeXTanswers.)

Specifically,  do the four meg simms have to be installed in
particular banks?  The specs indicate that I can have 8 to 32
meg installed on board.  The 32 meg limit implies (to me) a limit
of 8 four meg chips.  Do the four meg chips have to replace the
one meg chips in the lower two banks?

Also, what about parity?  If I want parity checking (I don't, but
I am curious) I have to replace the factory installed memory
with parity ram, right?

Thanks in advance for any answers or providing a pointer to
appropriate documentation.
