Macintosh IIfx: UN8 PROG CELL Socket Explanation



What is the function of the slot labeled "UN8 PROG CELL" on the Macintosh
IIfx main logic board?

The UN8 PROG CELL socket on the Macintosh IIfx logic board is for the
parity memory controller.

This is only present on those Macintosh IIfx computers that are
originally ordered with the parity option. There is no way to upgrade a
non-parity Macintosh IIfx to have the parity option.
