[Sunhelp] on SS2 where is RAM "bank 0"?

[Fred Dikeman]

Chris,
The Sparc 2 has four memory banks.  Each memory bank has four slots (#
0-3).
Memory needs to be installed in sets of four.  One simm into slot 0 of
each of the four banks.  Two of the 0 memory slots are the two slots
closest to the sbus connectors.  The other two 0 slots are the fifth
slots from the sbus connectors.

We sell Sparc 2 processor boards for $15.  They dont have nvram.
