Subject: Equity Series SIMM Compatibility

Date: 12/4/91

Page(s): 1 of 1

PSB No: S-0136

Originator: JAD

Due to the influx of third party SlMMs on the market, there are some that are not

compatible with Epson products. This bulletin is intended to be an aid in ensuring

that only compatible SlMMs are chosen for use in Epson’s Equity Series of

computers.

The SlMMs in question were SEIMENS, CUMULUS and KINGSTON. Installing these

SlMMs in Epson products may cause the following errors:

Parity Check 1

18FFFE 0000 202 Memory Address Error

164 System Options Not

Set

1500 E000 201” DOS RAM Address Error

It was thought that the chips used in these SlMMs were of poor quality.

Epson Portland evaluated the SlMMs in question and found that this was not true.

The problem is caused by the SIMM circuit boards (ITE and TECAP circuit boards)

used to manufacture the SIMM modules. The dimensions of these boards are not

compatible with industry standard SIMM sockets. This may result in incomplete

contact between the SIMM assembly and it’s socket. This is caused by insufficient

size of the contact surfaces in these products. Also enlarged holes in the TECAP

product allow the component pin to pass entirely through the hole without making

contact.

It is recommended that only SIMMS meeting industry standard contact surface

specifications be used in Epson Equity computer products.

Some recommended SlMMs that were tested and found Compatible are:

Toshiba

Matsushita

CDC Enterprises

Samsung

Aculogic
