hkz<p>Hmmm crap. Seems I have loads of "2 chips" (+ parity) 1MB SIMM modules but just 3x 256K modules and just 2x 1MB "1bit ram" modules.<br>From what I gather around, the modules with 4-bit chips seems to be incompatible.</p><p>Can anyone confirm?</p><p>Otherwise I'll try to bring up the <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/MacPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacPlus</span></a> clone with either 2MB or 512K</p>

hkz<p>More ICs in the <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/MacPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacPlus</span></a> clone, including the GALs, but I'm still missing 5x 74F253 (I have plenty of 'LS253, but I suspect the F ones are there for a reason) and 2x LS166.</p><p>I'm still searching between all my scrap.</p>
hkz<p>That's enough ICs for today.<br>I don't trust that resurfaced SCSI IC, but I have old PLCC ones and I made an adapter. Can try those if needed.</p><p>I also lack the 'F253s (I have loads of 'LS253 though...), the '161 and '166.
