VJ >>I don't know the name of my Zorro card. (z-1 or z-2?)<< An A2500 would have Zorro-II cards, which are 16-bit. However, Zorro-II is the name for the general purpose expansion slots on your mother board. if you expansion is on a card in a Zorro-II slot, you will need to examine the card to see if it allows memory expansion using SIMMs, are by plugging in individual chips. There is special slot on the motheboard called the CPU-slot, (also know as a Co-processor slot). A card inserted in this slot, can contain an new CPU that replaces the 68000 one on motherboard. Your CPU-card is 32bit, and should allow either RAM using either 32bit SIMMs, 8bit SIMMs in groups of 4, or a large number of plug in DRAM chips. If only part of the RAM sockets/slots are filled, just look at the numbers printed in the RAM chips used, and note whether they plug straight into the card, or mounted to a SIMM plugged into the card. — VJ >>Speaking of numbers, there is a 16 MBYTE simm advertised in the Tenex catalog for $1179.<< And if its is 32bit SIMM, it might actually give 64 megs of memory, if your computer can handle it. 🙂 Ron. – ap'ing with AP.
