Anyway I thought I'd add to the comments about the IIfx memory identification. I have three of these machines two have 8 x 1mb but the third has 4 x 16mb and 4 x 1mb. There is a big difference between the two sizes. The 1mb modules have 8 simms on one side and look very much like a normal 72 pin item. The 16mb modules are very tall and only just fit inder the drive deck. Over twice as tall as the 1mb. They have 32 simms plus 6 other little chips on them. Printed on them is "Lifetime memory products copyright 1991" and "P/N 10111 REV N/C". I realise these are only one manufacturers product and there could be other versions but I hope this information is helpful. I enjoy reading all the stuff from this group and find the software information very useful. We have some very clever people out there helping us get the best from our old machines. Thank you.
