All four SIMM sockets can support either 4MB or 16MB single sided SIMMs or 8MB or 32MB double sided SIMMs of the common 72-pin type, depending on the settings of JR5 and JR6 as shown below

JR5 OFF, JR6 OFF
CN1 8000000-83FFFFF
CN2 8400000-87FFFFF
CN3 8800000-8BFFFFF
CN4 8C00000-8FFFFFF

JR5 OFF, JR6 OFF
CN1 8000000-8FFFFFF
CN2 9000000-9FFFFFF
CN3 A000000-AFFFFFF
CN4 B000000-BFFFFFF

JR5 OFF, JR6 ON
CN1 8000000-8FFFFFF
CN2 8800000-8FFFFFF
CN3 9000000-97FFFFF

CN4 E000000-FFFFFFF

Note: Burst Mode will only function properly when there are an even number of SIMMs.

T-REX II Support Site

Zorro II Memory Note: It has been discovered with extensive testing that by allowing any 68040 or a 68060 to run 'burst' cycles against Zorro II 16-bit 7MHz memory is an inefficient activity.  Most 16-bit Memory in fast systems like this is relegated to last-resort use and for I/O buffering activity (for 24-bit DMA controlers like the A2091 and GVP Series II SCSI controllers).  Use the MuTools mmu.library, and use MuSetCacheMode (or the mmu-configuration file) to render any 16-bit memory in the system as NoCache - this will prevent burst cycles, and thereby improve performance when the system uses this memory.  If the 16-bit memory is already only used for 24-bit DMA buffering, no benefit comes from caching.  The latest MuTools release (Q1 2021) also attempts to identify these situations and prevent caching to Z2 16-bit RAM with a tool configured during the Installer script.
