Hi,
I read in the FAQ that I should put 4xwhatever SIMMS in my Turbo Color.
Ooops.
The Turbo Color wants 1xwhatever SIMMs.
I received two 4x32 SIMMs and installed them in the NSTC. Upon booting I entered
the ROM monitor and typed m to see my memory config.
It shows two banks filled with 8MB SIMMs (the originals),     
one bank with a 32MB SIMM,
and one bank empty.

The real config is two banks x 8 + two banks x 4x32Mbit SIMMs.
The machine works with these SIMMs (so far), but is it ok to do this?
Will I have problems?

Please - any help is greatly appreciated!!!
