Can you use 64mb SIMM's in an Apollo 1260?
Guys the 32mb SIMM in my Apollo 1260 is very thick and Doesn't fit very well. I found a cheap 64mb (thin) SIMM and wondered if it would work in the Apollo?
Will the Apollo use only 32mb of it? Or not work at all? |

Single sided 72pin SIMMs are: 4, 16, 64MB
Doubled sided units: 1, 8, 32 & 128MB Apollo sees only 16MB of the 64MB single side module. |

This is the only thing I hate about the Apollo's, what a massive design flaw. I wonder how difficult it would be to modify them to take decent sized memory modules.

You might be able to find a thinner 32MB module which only has chips on one side but will still be seen as a double-sided module. There is not always correspondence between a module being single/double sided and whether it has chips on just one side or both, although it is often the case.

an apollo 1240 and 1260 cant use a 64mb simm because the extra address's are missing on the board.
32 mb double sided edo simms are easy to get. |
