Hello all,
I have a Powermac 8100/80 that needs a RAM upgrade.
Lowendmac.com
says that it can handle 72-pin SIMMs, up to 32MB each. My question
is this: does it take the same 72-pin SIMMs as a PC, or does it
require special "mac-only" SIMMs? Google only showed people still
selling the RAM (for outrageous prices), and I couldn't get actual
specs on the RAM itself.
Thanks for any help ....
BTW, the 8100 was introduce in early 1994, so I think I'm actually on
topic! :-)
It's designed to use non-parity SIMMs, but parity ones (from a PC)
should work as well.
Should, and do. I just gave away a PM8100 a couple of months ago.
It had 36-bit NEC 8MB SIMMs in it.
