- Macintosh Plus Memory Upgrade
- You can intermix 256K and 1-Meg SIMMs in the same Macintosh Plus. There are
- two rows of two SIMMs each in the Plus; you can have one or both rows filled.
- If only one row is filled, it must be row 1, the row closest to the CPU. When
- mixing sizes of SIMMs, make sure the larger SIMMs are in row 1. Here are the
- possible configurations:
-
- Total RAM Row 1 Row 2
- --------- ----- -----
- 512K 256K Empty
- 1 Meg 256K 256K
- 2 Meg 1 Meg Empty
- 2.5 Meg 1 Meg 256K
- 4 Meg 1 Meg 1 Meg
-
- There are two resistors that define the configuration of the machine. The one
- labelled "1 Row" should be removed if only 1 row of SIMMs are used. Remove the
- one labelled "256" when 1 meg SIMMs are used.
-
- NOTE: It's not necessarily true that anything called a SIMM will perform
- acceptably in the Macintosh Plus: to meet timing requirements, the SIMM
- must use chips having a speed of 150 nanoseconds or faster. NEC and
- Hitachi are the two sources of Apple's SIMS.
