Your friend will be unpleasantly surprised to find that adding two
SIMMs to a Mac II doesn't work.  I hope he doesn't damage the machine
or the SIMMs.

Once again: The Mac II is a 32 bit machine.  We must add memory in
32-bit-wide chunks.  Each SIMM is eight bits wide.  Therefore, we must
add four at a time.
