Incidentally, back when Apple ][s were current it was

see a reason why this will do any damage, but I've never had the courage
to try it. Anyone know anything about this?
Probably just an urban legend, like the ones about how all your memory
chips need to be from the same vendor, and how they must all be the
same speed, and how you shouldn't use 120 ns DRAMs in a computer designed
for 150 ns DRAMs, and similar BS.
