I just discovered, to my surprise, that my IIsi recognizes 2MB RAM sticks, a hundred or more of which I have had lying around for the past five years. Until tonight, I had no real confirmation what size the little bu**ers were, as their markings are not documented anywhere that I can find, and as I could never make a machine boot with them in it. I had, though, suspected 2MB, or 8MB, as they are each known to cause trouble.
So just now, I popped them into a IIsi, just because I wanted to boot it up and they were to hand, and not noticing that they were the sticks that had failed in every other machine tried. The thing booted right up and I was met with a IIsi that reported the very odd figure of 9216k memory under "About this Mac." Then I worked it out.
Apparently, 2MB SIMMs are a bit of a rarity. Does anyone know if they happen to work in any other Apple machines, or have some peculiar niche use? And anyone want a handful, by any chance? Out of basement and into yours!
