Hello I recently bought an "Above Board 2 Plus" memory card for my PS/2 unit, it uses 30 pin simms however does anyone knows if it uses any specific type of ram? I have been trying to install it with little success. I have the correct ADf file and the PS/2 sees the Above card no problem but during the boot all I get is the PS/2 111 error and some random ?????? (memory card error), which leads me to believe that perhaps is not liking the ram that I'm installing. Any ideas / suggestions?

SIMM (memory) Speed
The SIMMs in your Above Board supply the board's memory. The DRAMs (memory chips) on these modules are usually labeled to show their speed. This labeling typically consists of a part number, a dash, and the speed number. The speed number is usually shown without the last zero. For example '110000J-10' means a part number '110000J' and a speed number '10' implying 100 nanoseconds. If you are not sure what speed memory you have, choose the 'Slow (100ns) memory' option."
<Slow (100ns) memory>, Fast (80 or 85ns) memory
256K or 1MB 30 pin SIMMs
