Help! I just bought a used Video Toaster 2000 with a Progressive Peripherals 2000-040 Accelerator Board. It only came with 4mb of RAM in the system, and I want to expand to 16-32mb. Does this board use standard SIMMS (4X8,4X9)? Are there any jumper settings I have to worry about? I have no documentation. Thanks for your help in advance. Evan Smith

To get 16 or 32 megs you need to remove the 1×8 SIMMS and put in standard 4×8 SIMMS, 80nSec or faster, 30 pin. You can't mix the 1×8's and 4×8's. For 16Megs you put the SIMMS in the same slots as the existing 4 SIMMS are occupying (called Bank 1). Remove the B2 jumper when you put in the 4×8 SIMMS. Also, make sure you already have the following jumper settings: A1 absent, A2 present, and B3 absent. This autoconfigures 2Mb of memory (the default setting).
