Yes, I'm sure - and comforted also by NewerTech's GuRU. I know from
others, it works, although by myself I only have practical experience
with a IIci and a IIsi. The IIsi has problems with some, but not all,
16 MB chips. I have 2 different grups of 4 (both now in a Q950),
different only for brand not for speed, but one group worked in the
IIsi, the other not (both are fine in a IIci as well as in a Q950). I
thought, that might be due to drawing different amount of current from
the slots (?).

Kind regards, Ulrich
