wizard--I'm following this discussion with interest. while i do not understand every last thing you are talking about, i had never heard of converting the RAM on a IIfx before. i gather that you are studying the structure of how the RAM cips and pins were designed for the IIfx and coming to the conclusion that they have more bells and whistles than they needed to have, most of which go largely unused--and that you can convert the machine over to using another form of RAM simms that are more common and more versatile.
if you succeed, i would be fascinated to hear what worked. i have 2 iifx's, and until i read your discussion i was resigned to jsut accepting that they are strange beasts that need to be fed a delicate diet. now i'm hoping maybe they can take something else besides the 64 pin simms they were made with. be sure to keep us posted on what you find and how it works out. and i am on the lookout for any way i can max up my RAM on my two--either the standard way, or by another more ingenious way. janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
