The memory is of unknown type, other than 16 meg is in the form
of 72 pin SIMMs and one 16mb stick of 66 mhz DIMM.
------------------------------

If the manual is available, have you looked up the memory
configuration re: the motherboard's ability to utilize SIMMs and
DIMMs together? Few motherboards I have looked into permit this,
mostly, I suspect, because SDRAM DIMMs tend to be faster than
SIMMs.

Just my $.02...
