Friends,

Does anyone have experience with piggyback adaptors for SIMMs?

I remember seeing something advertized, but can't remember if it
was to adapt 72 pin to a 30 pin slot or vica versa.

I need to find a way to increase memory in older mobos, those that
only have 4 - 30 pin banks. The manual for my Packard B. 486sx
states the configuration for the 4 banks is maximum 1 meg each to
give a total of 6 meg, including the 2 onboard. At that time 1 meg
was the biggest available. If I can adapt newer SIMMs, will the
mobo accept them?

thanks in advance,
