Because at the time, any SIMM available would work on both. The RAM controller on the DOS card can't handle the higher-density SIMMs - IIRC its limit is 32 MB double-banked, so 16 MB per bank or *maybe* 32 MB per bank if you can find a 2K refresh module - whereas the Mac's RAM controller is somewhat more forgiving. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
