Strange upgrades
Posted by: bibilit on 2022-04-17 10:17:06
Found a strange memory setup in a Plus.
Four memory modules including a connector for another stick.
so, without any add-on, memory setup was the same as the 1 Mb original one, but with the modules removed from the board, memory was upgraded to 2 Mb, and with 1 Mb units some unusual configurations can be achieved, including 3,5 or 4,5 Mb (probably not detected
)
The result is bulky and hard to install or removed.

Yes! I had a set of those too, but with the extra mini-SIMM in the slot on top. They're on their way to @Siliconinsider for his 'interesting RAM' collection at the moment, actually.

They're unwieldy, aren't they...

This can push past the max limit of 4 MB?

No, a limit is a limit, don’t probably be useful above the 4 Mb and probably don’t be seen either.
