Macintosh Classic Onboard RAM upgrade?! Eh?

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

Actually, considering the excised PDS and the switch from a convenient DIP 68000, to a POS SMT 68000, it's just about as close to a totally hamstrung Macintosh SE as Apple could possibly have managed.

It makes a friggin' Mac Plus seem easily expandable.

you got a point there jt

Yah! The SE was a top flight Compact Mac when it was introduced alongside the Macintosh II. Apple couldn't possibly have let any of that expansion slot goodness or, heaven forbid, even let Killy Klip compatibility sneak its nefarious way into a brand new new design for a Low End Mac priced under $1,000 for heavens sake!

Upgradeable RAM . . . oh my goodness! What were we thinking? :lol:

Did You Try soldering the 4 Mb on the Ram card instead ?

 

[uniserver]

no unfortunately i don't see a point to that

 

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

I think he's windering that, since it can address 3MB of RAM, it may have enough control lines to handle all four. I'm curious about that as well, I still don't see much point either, but it would be interesting to see what would happen

No I don't think it addresses 3 Meg's of ram .

the card is not a SIMM , it's unique. The one meg soldered on the card meshes with the one on the mainboard.

To make bank A. The Simms are on bank B by them selves.

2 Meg's max per bank.
