Hmmm I feel a tug on my leg.
So your SE ran 4 x 4 mb simms? Really? Anything special about those simms?
The accelerator was the Applied Engineering TransWarp '030; it had
its own four SIMMS sockets, 30 pin, nothing special about them, and
yes they were 4 x 4. The motherboard SIMMS were used for video RAM,
by the way, instrux said to put 256 K SIMMS in those slots but I left
a pair of 1 MB SIMMS in the first two banks and it worked fine.
I had access to 16 MB of RAM but always divided up into discrete 4 MB
chunks; that is, I could not allocate 5 MB to an app and launch it,
it would not work. But I could (and did) cram the System Folder with
INITs and CDevs w/o worry about RAM, and launch several apps at one
time, 1.5 MB here 2 MB there, and of course I always ran in
MultiFinder once I had this.
And yes, it worked even under System 6, which correctly displayed
that I had all that RAM available when I went to "About the Finder".
