I'm just going by the owner's manual, and by the appearance of the insides
as described in the manual. It's possible the owner's manual is wrong.
However, the first owner was a professional (designs whole systems for the
military) and tells me the manual is right about this. In fact, he said it
out of memory, and I checked, and what he said matched the book. It has
only 2 megs at present, true. It has room for 2 SIMMS. They have to be
installed in pairs with the same rating, according to the old owner, but I
can put in two 8s for a total of 16, or two 16s for a total of 32.
No wonder I have always felt confused about IBMs. This is really hard.
