DOS Compatibility Card: Which SIMMs To Use?

The DOS Compatibility Card Read Me states the following:

"You may find that, even when SIMMs are added to the Power Macintosh 6100 DOS Compatible main logic board, you get less shared memory (MB) than you requested from the PC Setup Control Panel.

   SET          ALLOCATED
    8               4
   16               8
   32               8

The design of some memory SIMMs do not permit the DOS Compatibility Card to utilize the full capacity of the memory."

What type of SIMMs should be used in order to fully utilize the capacity of the memory?
Non-composite SIMMs can be fully utilized. The DOS Compatibility Card uses 72-pin, 80 ns or faster, non-composite SIMMs. Thus, if the correct SIMMs are used, the DOS Compatibility Card should be able to utilize the full capactiy of the memory.

Apple SIMMs are non-composite. Contact the manufacturer or vendor of the SIMM to determine whether any added SIMMs are composite or non-composite.
