Cool.  I think you got it.  8 SIMMs in bank 1 above => 32 MB recognized in
bank 1.  This fits with what you were saying earlier about these looking
like 4 MB SIMMs.  But it doesn't like having just 4 SIMMs.  I tried the 6
most sensible combinations for filling the 8 slots of bank#1 with 4 SIMMs.
All resulted in the Compose LED.  I'll spare you the pictures--the 6
configs I tried were:  left 2 pairs, right 2 pairs, front 2 pairs, back 2
pairs, front slot of each pair, back slot of each pair.

So maybe it needs a bank to be completely filled.

That makes sense.  (I was wondering what those were for.)  I'll try to pick
up a couple of what you said: 72pin FPM parity DIMMs.  32MB I'm guessing?
That goes on the shopping list for this little project, along with another
4MB SIMM (so I can fill both banks 0+1at once), CD drive, cable for the
floppy (or not), and Solaris media.

Grasshopper is beginning to understand the term "clone".  Thanks for the
help, Jeremy.
