Memory

The required memory are 72 pin simms, 36 bits fast page. According to intel 16MB should work but is not tested (16MB did not exist yet). And I guess all speeds will do, cause usually 72 pin simms are faster than required. If all four banks are filled the memory access is much faster, probably due to memory interleaving. This means a theoretical memory access speed up of almost 4 times comparing a single simm and 4 simms...

Tested configurations:

Configs tested totals success
2x1Mx36 FP 8 MB yes
2x1Mx32 EDO 8 MB no
4x4Mx36 FP 64 MB yes
