Yes 12 meg should be no problem at all, but what are these
references to problems with 4mb simms???

*Please* tell me where this info is because I'm having no end
of trouble with my SS1+ at the moment with regard to
problems in the 4mb simms I'm using. At least I think the
trouble I'm getting is from them. I'm about to dump my SS1+
if I can't get the seemingly hardware/ram related problems
solved soon. And that would be a terrible shame...

Paul.
