yeah, right..and the Oil Companies have been supressing the water fueled engine
for 50 years..
thre 760E series was not intended to use more than 80megs..
apricorn then fooled IBM and everyone else when they did a 64meg DIMM carrier..
(later redone as a 32meg DIMM carrier)
note that on the original IBM DIMM carrier, 8megs was added to give the base
760ED 16megs..
to get to 104 megs, the 8meg on the original DIMM carrier had to be mapped out
of existance..
there are 4 memory lines on the 760ED..
the syustem board uses one for its 8megs..
the DIMM carrier used another for ITS 8megs..
leaving one each for the DIMM sockets..
its late and i'm not so coherent about this but i was there and i sold those
64meg DIMM carriers..
kingston is full of it..!!!
get Apricorn or Viking or GoldenRam..
mix any of it..
just stick the 64 in the right socket and ANY 64 will work with ANY 32..
(kingston excluded)
geeze..!!!
