Sorry this took a while, but I've only just got back to the office to
check it out.

Most of our /150's (say, 400 of them) has 8meg simms, with memory
capacities of between 32M and 128M.  Here's how the switches are set:

	switch 1: towards the digit "1"
	switch 2: away from the digit "2", towards "on"

What are the positions of yours?  I assume the 8meg simms work with a
{20,25,33} MHz R3000 CPU module?
