SE/30 ram in a Plus? Classic II?
Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2017-02-07 15:28:09
I'm going to be upgrading the ram in my 30 soon. Can I use the 1 mb sticks in a plus? What about a classic II?

If the Simms are 1mb 30 pin Simms, then yea, go for it, I wouldn't use them if they are 2 or 3 chip though, at least in the Plus.

Ok, thanks. I think they might be 2 chip 🙁 I'll check now

A better upgrade for your SE/30 and Classic II would be to fill the memory banks with 4MB modules. They are easy to find in the USA.
8MB on an SE/30 won't give you much free ram if you run OS 7.5.5. 

The Classic II will take 2 or 3-chip modules, so will the SE/30. However in most cases the Plus won't, I recommend 8 or 9-chip modules of 1MB here.
