Yup, that would be a problem. What happened is that the II/IIx were
designed before the design of 4MB SIMMs was finalized, and they guessed
wrong on how many rows of refresh it would take. So anything with 4Mbit
chips (4MB = 8x4x1, 1MB = 2x1x4) or larger, needs a PAL to work in these
machines.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
