I do have four 1mg SIMMs on a shelf in my office and I asked my dealer if it
was possible to use 2 of them in my friends LCII to get a total of 6mg.
He confirmed to me that we could do so. The SIMMs are 80ns but I suspect the
LC to be satisfied with 100ns SIMMs or even with slower SIMMs.

BTW I'm the owner of a IIsi and I upgraded my RAM to 17Mg, that's
why I have these SIMMs at hand.

Hope it helps
