Memory Guide Early Macintosh - 2
Macintosh SE
(Solder Type)
The Macintosh SE has no
soldered memory. You can
expand the memory to a total
of 4 MB by installing DRAM
SIMMs. Remember, the
highest density SIMMs must
be installed in Slot 1 and 2
first.
Note: There are two
different logic board
configurations for the SE, one
with a jumper and the other
with a resistor to identify the
memory level installed.
Memory Information
DRAM Speed 150 ns
SIMM Type 30-pin
Soldered DRAM None

Note: For a 2.5 MB configuration, clip one
lead of the resistors and move the resistor out
of the way so it can be reinstalled if
necessary.
