This last remark leads me to think that you bought two 4Mx9 SIMMs to go with the eight 1Mx8 SIMMs originally in your cube. If this is so, you've got a problem: you must have four identical SIMMs in each bank, so just having two 4 Mb SIMMS will cause problems. If this is what you've done and it is a surprise for you, I'm almost certain it is in the FAQ. It's certainly in NeXTAnswers. Tom Horton tom@cs.fau.edu
