- AUSTIN, TX, January 10, 1991--Logica Research today announced SIMMpack™, a
- memory expansion board for the Macintosh Classic.
- SIMMpack provides Apple dealers an opportunity to increase the profit margin on
- an upgraded Mac Classic, since it uses surplus 256K SIMMs that dealers either
- already have or can be purchased very inexpensively.
- SIMMpack is an expansion card which plugs into the Classic’s memory slot. It
- contains 6 SIMM sockets, four for 256K SIMMs and two for 1 Mb SIMMs. Added to
- the Classic’s 1 Mb of standard memory, a SIMMpack-equipped Mac Classic allows
- 2, 2.5, or 4 Mb of total RAM.
- Other memory boards available for the Macintosh Classic have 1 Mb of RAM
- mounted directly on the expansion card and two SIMM sockets for standard 1 Mb
- SIMMs. The SIMMpack, on the other hand, allows dealers to “recycle” 256K SIMMs
- from other Macintoshes. Such SIMMs previously had no other use for end-users or
- dealers. (SIMMs as slow as 150ns are usable with SIMMpack.)
- The Mac Plus, SE, II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIsi, and LC have all shipped from Apple
- with four 256K SIMMs installed. Until now, when those computers were upgraded
- using 1MB SIMMs the remaining 256K SIMMs had no further use. SIMMpack offers
- the dealer a way to reuse the old SIMMs instead of paying for RAM on the
- expansion card.
- Dealers that sell Macintosh IIsi and LC systems will benefit greatly from the
- SIMMpack. With an optional hard drive mounting bracket, dealers can remove not
- only the four 256K SIMMs to install on the SIMMpack, but also the 40 Mb disk
- drive from a IIsi or LC to install in a diskless Classic, creating a Mac
- Classic 2/40 with more profit. Since most IIsi/LC buyers require more than 2 Mb
- of RAM and 40 Mb of disk storage, the dealer also increases profits on the IIsi
- and LC systems by providing customers with higher capacity RAM and storage
- options.
- The list price of SIMMpack is $99 with zero memory, and is available through
- XML Corporation of Austin, Texas, a distributor of Macintosh-related products.
- For dealer pricing please contact XML at the phone numbers below. The product
- will be shipping by the end of January, 1991.
