- Yes. From the A4KHG:
-
- Memory: Any combination of 4M, 8M, 16M, or 32M 72-pin SIMMs, either 32-bit
- or 36-bit wide. Add them starting with SIMM4 and working down to SIMM1. It
- is advised that you put your largest SIMM in the SIMM4 socket.
-
- SIMM Speed: For a 28 MHz Warp Engine, 80 ns SIMMs are adequate. A 33 MHz
- Warp Engine requires 70 ns SIMMs, while a 40 MHz board needs 60 ns. A wait
- state jumper enables the use of 80 ns SIMMs with 33 and 40 MHz boards
- (although there is a slight performance reduction).
-
- SIMM Types: Single or double-sided SIMMs will work, although the double-
- sided 16M SIMM is not recommended due to high power consumption. (This
- probably also applies to double-sided 32M SIMMs; the Warp Engine manual
- doesn't say so, perhaps because they are rare at present.)

- /* Auto-pointer to the A4000 Hardware Guide */
- More information on this topic is found in the A4000 Hardware Guide,
- which is available from your favorite Aminet ftp site. The archive
- is in the hard/misc directory, and is called a4khard_v3.lha.
