In my recent conquest to end all conquests (which it probably will, if my wife has anything to do with it), I acquired 5 x 64MB 72-pin EDO SIMMs. Naturally, I figured that these could be put to interesting uses in some of my old gear.
Thus on Sunday past I popped one of them in my Color Classic + LC550 logic board = Color Classic II. Just for a thrill, you know, since this machine is a particular favourite. Unfortunately, though the machine booted fine, the 64MB SIMM showed up as a 16MB chip (the machine registering a mere 20MB RAM total, with 4MB being on the l.b.). So "that put ma gas on a low peep" (Scots).
Can anybody explain what happened to the other 48MB? Why only 1/4 of the RAM and not, say, 1/2 (which I have heard of before)?
