OK, so I ripped open the SE/30 to pull the 4MB SIMMs and I saw the 8
SIMM slots I was expecting, and what looks to be a 72-pin SIMM slot.
According to this site:
http://www.biwa.ne.jp/%7Eshamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#MemoryConfigurations
that slot is indeed a ROM slot.
Is that really true? It sure looks like RAM to me -- but, then, I'm no
expert on the SE/30.
Also, since I don't KNOW that I have Mode32 installed, I've likely been
running on only 8MB anyway. :) Point is, I shouldn't miss the RAM when
it's gone, and it should go a long way to helping my NeXTcube. :o
