Dege, Glad to help. I kinda miss doing that sort of stuff since the store where I worked died just before CBM. 🙁 Anyway, I figure the layout of the zipps was for the convenience of the board layout folk, mere mortals need not apply. After installing the 0'th bank, the rest are easy. As for the static column ram vs page mode… well it works, that's the main thing. Either type will work, but the static column mode drams will be faster. It's not wise (in my experience) to mix them either. You can sometimes tell from the part number which type you've got. The SC mode drams have a part number 2 larger than the page mode chips. For example, Toshiba calls it's SC part the TC514402 and the PM part the TC514400. Whether or not that's universally true, I couldn't say. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
