I own a stackable 32meg card for the 1400 (plug on top and bottom). And it's 
stacked 32 on the bottom and 16 on top and works fine.

32 Meg modules are not stackable.  24s and smaller are.  Even though the Max 
RAM

in that slot is 48, it must be done with either 2-24s or a single 48 module. 
Why?

I have no idea, but probably is something in the RAM recognition side of the

ROM.  GURU shows many combinations of the 4, 8, 16 and 24 Meg modules, but 
shows

the 32 Meg and  48 Meg modules as being only allowed as single units.)


You can stack the RAM that allows stacking even if you have the 16 Meg Apple

setup. (8 on the MB and 8 in the Apple expansion slot.) I have a 1400 running

that way now while my other uses a single 48 Meg, the 8 on the MB and a 4 Meg 
in

the Apple slot. The only problem with the stacked RAM is when attempting to 
use a

3rd party video card. The Apple 8 bit card can be used in the stacked module

1400, but the 16 bit 3rd party card is larger and will not allow the top RAM

module to be installed. (The 16 bit card had to be put in the 1400 with the

single 48 Meg module.)


Both have G3 upgrades,([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) which don't interfere 
with any other

upgrades. I'd love to upgrade the 4 Meg Apple RAM module to an 8, but they 
are a

terrible buy per Meg and not worth the investment for the tiny gain. RAM 
Doubler

has a better bang for the buck, allowing triple the RAM under OS 9.1, without

slowing them very much.
