Installing third party 4 meg simms in an IRIS 4D/20

[Walker J. Seestedt]

Hi everybody,

Recently, in the interest of getting more memory into our SGI Personal
IRIS 4D/20, we have purchased some third party memory from Kingston
Technology Corp.  Since the existing 8 meg is in the form of 1 meg
simms, and the Kingston memory is in the form of 4 meg simms, we must
discard the old memory for the new.  We have 24 meg that we want to
install, however no matter what configuration I place the simms the machine
refuses to boot (or even go through power on diagnostics.)  I have tried
nearly every memory configuration I can think of, but to no avail.  Kingston
doesn't really know what configuration they should be and told me to try
different combinations.  Big help.  So, if any of you guru's out there
have managed to get 4 meg simms configured into a Personal Iris, PLEASE
let me know how they should go in!

Thanks,

Walker
