Greetings printer boffins:

Is it necessary to remove the postscript module from the 5si Mx in order
to fill this printer with the maximum 76 megabytes of memory?

Thanks,
Ed.

According to <http://www.shawnbehrens.de/hplist.htm> the 5Si Mx has 4
slots, each capable of taking 32 MB. So the max is 128 MB. One slot is
taken by the PS SIMM, if you keep that you can have (3*32)= 96 MB.
I have an HP4M, which has a similar arrangement, 4 slots either for
RAM or a PS SIMM.
