- A bank of SIMM slots on an SE is just two slots, unlike SE/30's, Mac II's
- and Quadras (i.e. machines that use 68020/30/40 CPU's as opposed to the
- 68000 in an SE), where a bank of SIMM slots is four slots.
-
- Therefore, if he says he wants 2-256K SIMMS for an SE, it follows that he
- is not mixing SIMM sizes within the same bank.
