The instructions I have mention that you have to "clip" the lead of a resistor in order for the additional memory to be recognized. See below. Ken --------- Note: You can configure the Macintosh Plus with 1 MB, 2.5 MB, or 4 MB of RAM. The standard 1 MB configuration has a SIMMs resistor installed in R8 and four 256K SIMMs in both banks. To add memory, you must install SIMMs and remove the SIMMs resistor. Note: The Macintosh Plus requires 150-ns or faster SIMMs. RAM speed is indicated by the -xx number after the manufacturer�s part number (-15 indicates a 150-ns SIMM).
