| Mac iifx Kingston 2MB 64 pin SIMMs? | |
| Posted by: TimHD on 2016-08-30 05:39:43 Found these Kingston 2MB 64 pin SIMMs in my Mac IIfx but it would not boot with them in the RAM slots. I suspect the IIfx cannot handle 2MB SIMMs but if so, what machine/hardware are these SIMMs for?    | |

| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2016-08-30 09:41:20 I think laser printer memory was 100 or 120ns which is very slow. That RAM could be for a different machine (there are a few that use special 64 pin SIMMs). | |

Seems to be "proprietary memory" for that system... http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.indigo/ http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.indigo/images/r3kmemory.gif No wonder the Mac iifx did not like it. | |
| Posted by: rsolberg on 2016-08-30 14:43:44 Perhaps the 8MB notation is referring to a set of four? Kingston (and others) often screen print or label a part number for the entire set on each module, rather than using a number specific to the module. | |
