Probably called > SimmExtender or similar. They are cards that plug in the motherboard > where, in turn, you can plug in more RAM modules. Yes, one of my FreeBSD machines uses them. It has eight 1-MB, 30-pin SIMMs installed on two four-to-one extenders, along with six 4-MB SIMMs plugged directly into motherboard slots. This machine is running FreeBSD 3.1, formerly 2.2.6, and Linux-something before that. It's a 486DX-33 machine, by the way.
