| 934.1 | SIMMS.S seen in ST user recently | UKCSSE::RDAVIES | Live long and prosper | Fri Aug 10 1990 12:28 | 49 |
| I believe what .0 refers to is this:
* STE SIMM mixer by David Hoggan
* Lets STE configure 2.5 Megs properly
* MUST BE FIRST IN AUTO FOLDER!
* This program asssumes 2Mb in bank 0 and 0.5Mb in bank 1.
* It has been found that the other way around doesn't work
* - the MMU configures to a 1Mb machine.
* Install your SIMMs as follows:
*
* (back of STE)
*
* |-- 1meg SIMM --|
* |-- .5meg SIMM --|
* |-- 1meg SIMM --|
* |-- .5meg SIMM --|
*
* (front of STE)
clr.l -(sp)
move.w #32,-(sp) Switch to super mode
trap #1
addq.l #6,sp
cmp.l #$280000,$42E RAM <= 2.5 megs?
ble already If so, nothing to do
cmp.b #9,$424 Is it installed properly?
bne already If so, nothing to do
move.l #$280000,$42E Set phystop
move.l $4F2,a0 Find reset address
jmp (a0) Reset system
already: move.l d0,-(sp) Returned stack
move.w #32,-(sp) Switch back to user mode
trap #1
addq.l #6,sp
clr.w -(sp) Back to TOS
trap #1
Now if someone would be willing to compile this into a .exe for me,
then I might consider buying 2x 1Mb cards to go with my 2x .25 Mb
cards.

| 934.4 | Got mine finally | UKCSSE::RDAVIES | I can't tryp for nots | Thu Jan 24 1991 08:44 | 9 |
| In the end I took the option most suited to my pocket and bought the .5
Mb upgrade. By now it's down to 1p short of �35! (was near �60 this
time last year). Ordered Monday, arrived yesterday, fitted last night,
in about 9 minutes (4 mins opening up 1 min testing 4 mins closing
down!
As my kids say simple pimple!

| 934.5 | pc simms = ste simms? | BRUMMY::LOXTON | | Mon Mar 04 1991 11:51 | 8 |
| I've seen an advert for 1Mb simm's for the STe and P.C. 30 pounds
e
The advert seems to imply that both machines use the same simms.
Does anyone out there know if this is the case.

| 934.6 | Yes, they are the same | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeffrey A. Lomicka | Mon Mar 04 1991 12:26 | 6 |
| According to a recent ST Report issue, you can use EITHER 1MBx8 or 1MBx9
SIMM modules in the STe. They recommended getting the 1MBx9, because
they were most likely to be able to be re-used in an IBM clone. Yes,
they are the same pin-out. I recommend getting the 1MBx8, because they
are currently about $10(US) cheaper, and I know I'm never going to trade
my STe for a clone.

Hi,
I've just upgraded my STE to 1 meg, I found some 256K SIPPs lying around
the Lab, these are basically SIMMs with leads. I removed the leads and inserted
them into my STE. Because the little board they are on doesn't have the locking
tabs on either end I had to hold them in place with a wedge of post-it paper.
However with this done I now have 1 meg.
All I need now is to find som 1 meg simms/sipps lying around doing nothing.
