- I just bought the 1230XA used, and it came with the little documentation
- page ;) (and what a bitch it was to get it into the slot, ugh)
-
- Anyway, regarding RAM:
-
- "INSTALLING SIMM MEMORY
-
- Only by having its own, wide memory installed will the M1230 XA give you the
- full benefit of it's faster processor. (blah blah, nistructions follow for
- installation of 4 megs. ahem)
-
- M1230XA does NOT use the common, 8 bit SIMM as found in the Macintosh
- marketplace. Rather it uses the same sort of Simm as use din the Amiga 4000.
- This is a 72-pin, 32-bit wide SIMM. M1230 needs at least 100ns SIMMS.
-
- Soecification: (example only) 80ns, 72pin "wide-body" SIMM organized
- N-megabytes x 32 bits.

-
- doesn't say anyth8ing about an additional RAM slot. just the one.

- By the way I'd heard these 030/50's were supposed to reach like 10
- mips, but when I run sysinfo I only get about 7.5.. how do you have yours
- configured? I run AutoXA and then sometimes "cpu fastrom" but the latter
- doesn't really seem to help... I have everything in setxa set correctly..
- anything else I should change?
-
-
- oh yeah I have 70ns RAM, would 60ns make it that much faster?
