- I've noticed in memory ads at the back of Byte and PC Mag, a list of
- simms for various IBM models, and another list of "IBM simms" only
- these are broken down by speed (70 nsec, 80 nsec,..). I gather there
- are IBM simms and simms for specific models, as you mention above.
-
- I've just ordered a Tecmar PS/2 32-bit memory board with 0MB. It
- takes "IBM like simms" (80 msec) . Since I haven't received the
- package yet, I'm not sure just which simms they mean. This *is*
- confusing, though!
-
- Can anyone shed light on this? Is an "IBM memory module" a SIMM ot
- not? If not, what is a SIMM?
