Title: A4000 Fast Ram Simm compatibility
Post by: mapperboy on June 27, 2013, 04:25:46 AM

I'm rebuilding an orphan A4000
I have some spare 4x32 (16meg) 72 pin 60ns simms from another machine.
Will they work in the A4000 simm slots?
If they did I'm assuming that only 4 megs of these 16 meg simms might be addressable by the A4000 mb or ??

The A4000 requires Fast Page memories in its motherboard SIMM sockets.  If you need to use EDO memories, you'll need to get a WarpEngine or similar accelerator board.
