The need to fill Bank B when 16MB simms are in Bank A has been reported by other listers, including me. I used 0.25MB simms in Bank B. The longer startup time is due to longer memory test. Are the 2 sets of 16MB simms identical? And be sure that you have version 7.5 of Mode 32. Gamba <http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
