VL4200 support 4 banks of non-EDO memory from 256Kx32 to 16Mx32 in each bank. You can use all of the memory banks as long as they don't overlap with each other. Each 72pin SIMM occupies two memory banks and they are arranged as following: 4 pcs of 30 pin SIMM = Bank 0 72 pin SIMM2 = Bank 1 and 3 72 pin SIMM1 = Bank 2 and 0 The 30 pin SIMM socket is overlap with second side of SIMM1(left most 72 pin SIMM socket), so if 30 pin SIMMs are used, the SIMM1 must not be a double side SIMM. Depending on the structure of you 16M SIMM, it can be 2Mx32bit x 2 bank (may be 4 pcs of 1Mx16 DRAM) or 4Mx32bit x 1 bank (may be eight pcs of 4Mx4 DRAM). Minimum 1 bank of memory is required for the system to run. You can install the memory in any bank you like.
