PS/2 80 Memory Modules
IBM Personal System/2 model 80 386 (8580) uses proprietary 32-bit memory modules. Earlier 1 Mb and 2 Mb modules are all 85ns in speed and had been designed for 16 and 20 MHz machines. These modules can't be used in 25 MHz systems as they are too slow. As 25 MHz models were introduced, faster 80ns 4 Mb modules became available - in fact, 25 MHz machines can use only such modules. However, if 4 Mb modules are installed in 16 or 20 MHz machines, only 2 Mb out of 4 will be available (actually, 20 MHz models will be able to "view" all 4 Mb, but will be in trouble if some memory expansion card is installed).
