Hi all,

While my SE/30 is being recapped, a quick question just to confirm: the SE/30 is not compatible with 8 MiB 30-pin SIMMs, is it? I believe it will take 1, 2, 4 and 16 MiB only.

I've got four of these which won't physically fit a Quadra 700 (chips on both sides, too thick!) but gave great service on my now dead IIsi -- that machine with 33 MiB seemed, in a way, more responsive than a 20 MiB Quadra! With another 4 x 4 MiB I have, those big SIMMs would total a "hefty" 48 MiB.

But if they won't work, I could use four 2 MiB SIMMs (if really supported -- are they?) for a grand total of 24 MiB -- reasonable, but then I could get a decent deal on 4 MiB SIMMs for a comfortable 32 MiB, which seems the general consensus on this forum.

The SIMM sockets on my SE/30 seem quite flimsy, so I'd prefer to install the modules once and forget about them...

Thanks a lot in advance!
