It was my understanding that standard SO-DIMM's up to 32 MB could be used, but then to go above that required some small customization. Apple's original stated RAM maximum for the 2400 was 48 MB (16 on board, 32 MB standard JEDEC SO-DIMM). I don't think it was any big deal to manufacture the 64's, but I think they only work in a 2400, and regular 64's would not. As for the 96's, I don't know why those were so hard to do relative to the 64's. The board was twice as large, for starters. I gather now that some Japanese hackers have figured out how to modify a standard SO-DIMM 128 (soldering a wire or two on somewhere) to give the machine a total of 144, but I don't know anything about it. I'll be curious to know what happens from your experiment. Ivan. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
