Sorry but that simply is not true, there are several articles on LEM
debating wether different models of 68k will support 64MB SIMMs. It is
found that many later machines will actually support certain types of
64MB SIMM (single sided single banked ??) and even a few selected 128MB
SIMMs have been found to work. There are a few upgrade companies who
list these modules for 68k Macs. Th fact Apple Spec says they only take
32MB modules is neither here nor there :).
BTW if *anyone* knows for certian if 64MB SIMMs can be used in an 840av
I'd like to know. I'd sure like an 840av with a 200MB RAM disk for
recording videos :).
