Get a service manual, as there IS no PDS on a Portable. You may
not have the right sort of RAM (see below)
Paul
Upgrades RAM Expansion - 22
Note: Static and
pseudostatic RAM expansion
cards are available for the
Macintosh Portable. Static
and pseudostatic RAM cards
are not interchangeable. The
1 MB RAM expansion card
must be used with a static
RAM logic board; the 1 and 3
MB pseudostatic RAM cards
must be used with a
pseudostatic RAM logic
board.
1 Note whether the RAM
connector has a notch. If
it does, install a
pseudostatic RAM card.
2 If the RAM connector
does not have a notch,
install the 1 MB RAM
expansion card.
3 Plug the card into the
RAM expansion
connector. (indicates second one from hard drive)
