- But the fact is that I do know that older PS/255sx's don't have the necessary
- addressing lines on the memory sockets! Maybe I'll be able to mount the 4
- Mbyte module, but my computer could not be able to "see" the other memory.
-
- The trick should stay in the serial number printed on the rear of the machine.
-
- BTW, the memory modules for the PS/2 series machines (> Mod 30) are NOT Simms
- but a "special" (read: "IBM makes everything different") kind of modules.
