Didn't get much for them ($40); besides, he's a friend. 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. Stew Rubenstein Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc.
