IRQ, SIMM's & Memory Map


Simm Module configuration (BC 3030)

  All BC 3030 system memory is provided in 36-pin by 16 bit
  standard  80ns SIMM modules in 1MB or 4MB versions. Simms
  must be installed in matching pairs. Each pair must reside
  in either the  first  two sockets (u21, u22) or the second
  two sockets (u23, u24). For the proper placing of SIMM 
  modules, see the table below.

 Simm Socket    U21     U22      U23      U24       Total MB
