Jeffery,

Your Gosling requires parity memory, which is 36-bit. 32-bit memory is 
non-parity. So 16MB SIMMS would be 4 x 36. Whether true parity or logic parity 
should not make a difference, except that true parity (my preference) would 
report a parity error if one were found, whereas logic parity can never find 
such an error. I was told by ZEOS that the board supports any combination of 
SIMMS, and have personally run with the following combinations (2 x 1), (2 x 1 
+ 2 x 4), (3 x 4), and currently (2 x 16). It is not necessary to install 
them in pairs, either, since the Gosling is a 486 motherboard. You may want to 
keep two of the 4MB SIMMS, to total 40MB, unless you are fortunate enough to 
get a reasonable price for them.

Regards,
Stephen
