Hi,

I have a NeXTstation Turbo with 8 Mb of RAM.  I would like to purchase 2 more
8 Mb SIMMs.  The problem is that I've contacted several vendors now who all
ask me the same question..."what type of memory do you already have, parity
or non-parity?" but none of them can tell me how I can check this.

In the FAQs, it says that mixing parity and non-parity memory will cause
the system not to boot unattended.  I'd really rather not have to deal
with such problems if it's as easy as buying the right SIMMs in the first
place.

Does anyone know how I can find out what kind of SIMMs came with my Turbo
so that I know what to order.

Any help on this is most appreciated!!

Thanks,
Kharim Hogan
