Turns out the random memory card that came in my IIGS is actually an OctaRAM, which supports up to 8MB. It currently has 2MB formed using 256K modules (so all slots full).
Anyone know what types of SIMM I should use in this for 4 or 8MB? I'm guessing the same as the Mac Plus? Got any reliable sources for said SIMMs if so (or if not)?
