LaserJet 4

[AStar617]

Just scored one cheap, and have a few questions:

1) Officially these only support up to 8mb 72-pin parity SIMMs for 34mb max (2mb onboard), but does anyone know of these successfully addressing and working with 16mb or 32mb SIMMs?

2) Is there any way to add PostScript support via the front cartridge slot, or is it required that you give up an internal SIMM slot for this functionality, lowering the max memory in the process?

Thanks in advance...

EDIT - Guess this belongs in peripherals more than here, but any insight still appreciated.

For RAM, check the memory selector at crucial.com

Try Google for the postscript Q if no one answers here.

I've owned a LaserJet 4MP since it was new; it's been among my best PC-related investments. But mine does require a SIMM slot for the Postscript capability.

.. and I don't recall what the max RAM it accepts is, although I do know I had it upped to the max when I got it, at a pretty healthy premium expense.

That was my first search, but I've seen conflicting info regarding the PostScript SIMM vs. PostScript Cartridge. It's not a huge deal since at worst case 26mb (3x8mb + 2mb onboard) should certainly be sufficient for my home lab network.
