The remaining SIMM slots on the 4D/35 cannot be filled with 3rd-party
SIMMs.  Each of the memory SIMMs on the 4D/35 have a custom gate array
on board.  Obviously, this also means that you cannot put 2x0/3x0
memory in the 4D/35.

For more information, see the Oct. 22, 1990 issue of the Electronic
Engineering Times.
