- Right. I know that they will not fit in a model 25,30, or 60. These each have
- four slots for simms and cannot (without modification) accomodate more than
- 4 meg total. This is another brilliant IBM design feature that costs the user
- more money. The four slots come with 256K simms in each, and to upgrade you
- must purchase a 1 meg simm to replace this as well as the upgrade. That adds
- about $170 if you IBM simms. (I wanted to buy the 4 meg upgrade; IBM wanted
- $510 dollars for it.) I got it instead out of an old mod 60.
