:	I've had one response from  Rodger Anderson:

:>I guess there aren't as many
:>different kind of SIMMS as I thought, because the ones I had (1 MEG's)
:>worked just fine.  256K SIMMS are documented to work also.  You have to
:>install them in pairs.  You can use either 8 bit or 9 bit.
:>The connector that looks like a printed circuit edge connector
:>is the one you want.  They also come with pins, like IC legs.

:	The 9 bits are for the PS2 line, no doubt.  I never heard of (or seen)
:the "legs" type.  The major difference between Mac SIMMs is the
:speed; the Mac+ and SE can use 120ns vs. 100ns for the Mac II.  Often the
:120ns SIMMs seem to work fine in the Mac II, but you can never really be sure.

	Sun 3/60's also just 9 bit simms.  Yup, just plug those babies in,
move that little jumper of the pins and you are in business.

:	Sounds good.  If anybody has more info or corrections, feel free to
:straighten us out.

See above.
