I called the AT&T product support line, who said that only some RAM chips would work with the machine, not all. I'm not stupid, I know that 4k drams at 300 ns won't work, but what should I be looking for in the way of adding 1 meg to a 6386. A SIMM ? A SIPP? A particular manufacturer ? A certain speed ? Which form of chips.. a 1mX9, four 256kX9, what ? He also said that some machines can't use the 1m chips, for some reason. How can I tell if my can or can't ? These questions I ask of you in desperation.... Eric C.
