Macintosh Plus non-composite Ram upgrade
Posted by: ibook99 on 2023-04-01 20:36:29
I pulled these ram sticks from my old 486, and they are 1MB sticks. However, I am not sure if these are non-composite ram sticks. They will be going into my Macintosh Plus to upgrade it to 4MB. All I know is that these have Samsung memory chips and are from about 1992/93 (very odd coincidence, the pictures attached are numbered 92 and 93). The Macintosh Plus will boot with them; however, I am unsure if it will lead to problems.

I've never heard of the requirement of "non composite" RAM in a Mac Plus, a quick search says it's basically more complex RAM with more chips. These aren't; if the Mac Plus boots fine to 4MB, no crashes, you're good.
