The machine's at home at the moment so I can't check, but
I'm pretty sure it has six memory slots with four currently
populated. As it's 40Mb I guess it's two 16Mb and two 4Mb
sticks. If so, then it must be OK with 4Mb ones, and the
two extra ones I was trying to stick in might be kaput. I'll
see if work are willing to part with some RAM of varying
sizes so I can experiment.
