1111.12.5MB is not in the ROM'sPRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeffrey A. LomickaMon Apr 22 1991 20:4310
As far as I know, your assumptions are correct, however, 2.5MB is not
supported in the STe ROM's, but there is a commonly available
autofolder patch that corrects this.  I think I saw a version of it on
GEnie.  It's not large.  If you would like, I could try to fetch it
next time I log in there.

And, yes, you should put the 1MB simms in the place where the original
ones were, and you should get 2MB.

Hey - how do you get 1MB with only two 256K simms?  or was this a 520STe?

I thought as much.


Oh well, looks like I'll just have to make do with 2Mb - (unless the patch will
give me 2.5Mb with this config - if you could pull it across Jeff it would be
much appreciated)


It is on a 520STe that the upgrade is being done, hence the paltry 512K to start
with :-(

1111.32.5MB softwae fix available herePRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeffrey A. LomickaFri Apr 26 1991 00:394
PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]SIMMFIX2.ARC contains the code that
allows  you to configure a 2.5MB STe.  Let me know if it works for you. 
It's a STREAM_LF file - VMS ARC will work with it.  CVTARC V the file
before using Kermit's BIN mode or STRANSF.
