I've been playing around with a RAM upgrade on the IIci. I was given 4 4MB, 70ns sticks for it. It currently shows 8MB installed with what I assumed were 1MB sticks. The documentation I have says this model does not have any on board RAM.
So, I started trying different combinations, to see if it would register the new RAM. 4s in Bank A, 1s in Bank B 1s in Bank A, 4s in Bank B 4s in Bank B, nothing in A (chimes of death) 4s in Bank A, nothing in B I tried zapping PRAM twice after every test. Every time, it showed the same thing, 8 MB onboard. I also made sure that I had 32bit mode turned on, no difference. I can understand that possibly I didn't have something seated right on my tests. I can't understand why I'm always getting the same results. It seems like I would be showing 4MB on at least one of these tests. It also seems that the top configuration would be the correct one. If 70ns RAM is a bad speed for this machine, it seems like the RAM wouldn't register at all. Am I missing something here? I could test this RAM in another machine, but I am interested in why I keep getting the same results in this one.
