Macintosh Plus Memory Upgrade
You can intermix 256K and 1-Meg SIMMs in the same Macintosh Plus. There are
two rows of two SIMMs each in the Plus; you can have one or both rows filled.
If only one row is filled, it must be row 1, the row closest to the CPU. When
mixing sizes of SIMMs, make sure the larger SIMMs are in row 1. Here are the
possible configurations:
Total RAM Row 1 Row 2
--------- ----- -----
512K 256K Empty
1 Meg 256K 256K
2 Meg 1 Meg Empty
2.5 Meg 1 Meg 256K
4 Meg 1 Meg 1 Meg
There are two resistors that define the configuration of the machine. The one
labelled "1 Row" should be removed if only 1 row of SIMMs are used. Remove the
one labelled "256" when 1 meg SIMMs are used.
NOTE: It's not necessarily true that anything called a SIMM will perform
acceptably in the Macintosh Plus: to meet timing requirements, the SIMM
must use chips having a speed of 150 nanoseconds or faster. NEC and
Hitachi are the two sources of Apple's SIMS.
