emusonacid!

ok, so i've been searching around the net and everywhere it looks like a standard EMU 6400 Classic (not ultra) can be upgraded to 128megs of ram

but now some problems are arising.

for one thing everywhere says that it takes 72 pin sticks, but on a closer inspection it seems like only the Ultra can take 72 pin
the Classic it seems takes 32 pin. (the physical size of the sticks is definately different in mine to most pictured on the net)
the guy at the computer store said i had 32 pin sticks
and after purchasing 2 sticks of ram which was supposed to be 32 megs, i find that only 16 megs shows up on each one

now, can the Classic only take a maximum of 32 megs of ram?
do i have the wrong type of ram?

i'm assuming that it's EDO SIMM ram.

can anyone answer these questions for me?

much appreciated.

Your sampler can have 128 MB of RAM, and takes 72 pin sticks, but not 32 MB ones, see #3 of their compability chart:

1. Each of these samplers uses 2 RAM SIMM slots with a total capacity of up to 128MB.
2. Each one of these slots could hold up to a 64MB RAM SIMM.
3. You can use 4MB, 16MB or 64MB SIMMs in these products.
4. If you fill one slot only with a RAM SIMM, use slot 1. RAM will not be detected if it is only installed in SLOT 2.
5. If you install two similar sized RAM SIMMs, install one in each of the slots and the total memory will be the sum of the two RAM SIMMs.
For example, two 16MB SIMMs will provide 32MB of sample memory.
6. If you install two different size RAMs, install the LARGER size SIMM in SLOT 1. The SMALLER sized RAM should be installed in SLOT 2.
7. When you install two different size RAM, your total amount of RAM will be the capacity of SLOT 1 plus HALF of the capacity of slot 2.
For example, if you install a 64MB SIMM in slot 1 and a 16MB RAM in slot 2, you will have 72MB of total memory.

* 72-pin SIMM
* 70 nS or faster access time
* Parity or Non-Parity design
* EDO or Non-EDO (Extended Data Out)
* Glass Epoxy material, manufactured to JEDEC specifications

thanks very much for your help.
whats up with being unable to use 32 meg sticks? that could be my problem there.
and that's strange that i halves the second stick...

sounds like i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy some sticks from a proper place or ebay
instead of just ripping them out of an old pentium 1 :(
