I found some memory specifically for my poor little Mac IIsi. Does memory
need to go into the system in matched pairs or can it go singly?
Sorry for the slight OT.

4 at a time I think, otherwise nothing special. 1 MG on the MB, partially
used for video.

Rumor has it that Mike Ford may have mentioned these words:

Nothing desirable. BTW if you can swap memory between a IIsi and a 7300 I
want to watch, one is 30 pin SIMM the other 168 pin DIMM.
It sounds like the original poster only found (1) SIMM - and wouldn't want
to fund for 3 more as those 16Meg 30pin'ers are still quite costly (prolly
a lot more than that aforementioned DIMM) and given the choice, he wouldn't
want to fund that much purchasing 3 more SIMMs, for a machine that prolly
wouldn't use 1/3 that in normal use.
However, if he does think he can shoehorn a 30-pin SIMM into his 7300, I'd
sell tickets! ;^>
(I just stumbled across (4) 16Meg 30-pin SIMMs and I thought "what am I
going to use these for... until this thread reminded me of my MacIIci that
I want to set up as a network print server...;-)
Anywho, have fun!

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.

I meant money-wise :-) At $65 a SIMM, I'd rather spend the money on DIMMs
for the Power Mac and my Apple Network Server.

Its a bit odd, but $$$ per MB the most expensive are 4 MB which go for $5 to $7 each, while the 16 MB are mostly
less than $20.
You have to shop around I just picked up 48 pieces of 4 meg
30pin and 12 1 meg for $20 cdn.
Only 1 in the bag was damaged. I also picked up 2 SCSI
terminators and a ISA Future Domain SCSI card for $2 from
the same guy a week earlier.
My old 486 now has 32 meg in it, my MAC iisi has 17, my
testbed has another 16 in it, I'm looking at the 386's now.
Does the the IIgs doesn't use 30 pin, does the MAC SE?
before I open the case)

The SE uses 30 pin, but not much... 4mb max. That's a pair of twos.
A good SE resource is at <http://www.edprint.demon.co.uk/se/index.html>

I know someone that was paid $5000 to hual away twenty pallets of computers
and monitors, and in theory it could be repeated, but I don't look at one
of a kind deals as representitive of pricing in general.
Having tested the memory you shouldn't have any trouble selling 4 x 4MB
sets for about $20 to $25.
IIgs uses ram expansion cards, complete different.
I don't think 4 mb simms go in a SE either, max 8 MB I think.

four at a time, fer sure. I just FINALLY found a new home for mine.
Bought new for $3800, memory upgraded from the original 5mb to 17mb
for a paltry $500. Gave it away...
(BTW, the (at least one of the) definitive resource for old Mac info
is LowEndMacs. <http://www.lowendmacs.net>)
