    IIci Maxell bomb, is it worth putting in the effort for this one

    Thanks for the replies! I'll just leave it until I have lots of spare time/boredom. Thanks for the Offer @ScutBoy, I'm in New Zealand though so shipping would be very $$$.

    IIci Maxell bomb, is it worth putting in the effort for this one

    Mac SE/30, Death Chimes and Horizontal Stripes

    Thanks for the replies, I didn't know about the whole bank needing same size RAM and needing to be full, will try that.

    Mac SE/30, Death Chimes and Horizontal Stripes
