Re: Memory installation in a 170?

["James H H Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The installation was entirely successful (and a 7/32" 
socket was indeed close enough for jazz, the 5.0mm 
definitely being too small).

The memory was on the main logic board; there were 32MB 
SIMMs in four slots, white plastic "dentures" in the other 
four slots, and an odd-looking white plastic box below the 
memory sockets. The new SIMMs were 128MB each, so the 
result was a fivefold increase in the available memory. I 
was in and out of the building in about half an hour.

What, by the way, is the "odd-looking white plastic box"? 
It's about the size of all 8 SIMMs combined.
