40 CHAPTER 3
MEMORY EXPANSION
Please take note that SIMM modules of the most different producers are on the market which do
not keep the imprinted speed. In particular SIMM modules bearing the imprint e.g. LaserPrinter
Memory (or similar phantasy labels) are unsuited as memories for computer systems. phase 5 digi-
tal products principally recommends not to use such SIMM-modules.
INSERTION OF SIMM-MODULES
Put the CYBERSTORM MKIII on a plane, stable underground. Be aware that sensitive surfaces
could be scratched by the pins on the bottom when mounting the memory module, therefore we
recommend to use e.g. a magazine as support. Also do not press the board onto the underground
as there are SMD componets mounted on the bottom side. Now align the CYBERSTORM MKIII
Turbo Board so that the 68060 CPU points towards the left. The memory SIMMS have a recess
opening on one side of the contact strip, so that they can not be mounted upside down. This recess
opening must be at the left side when mounting. Insert the SIMM at an angle of approx. 40° flush
into the socket, thus the module can be inserted without problems. Then softly press down both
upper corners of the SIMM with your thumbs, until it audibly locks into place. Take care that the
metal hooks left and right besides the fixation holes both lock in over the board of the SIMMS. Keep
in mind for all handling steps that the SIMMs must not be subject to strong mechanical stress.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The „CYBERSTORM System Disk“ provided with the CYBERSTORM MKIII includes the neces-
sary libraries and drivers to run the 68060 CPU, as well as some tools which are helpful for the
operation of the board.
ADVICE
The installation of the software must be done BEFORE the CYBERSTORM MKIII is
installed in your computer.
The installation of the software will be done using an installation script. Insert the
„PowerUP
®
System Disk“ provided with your CYBERSTORM MKIII into your floppy disk drive, and
open the directory on the workbench via a double-click on the disk icon. Before you start to install
the CYBERSTORM MKIII software, open the "ReadMe" file on this disk via a double-click on the
file icon. This text file contains the latest and necessary information about the software and the
installation of the software. The software will be installed by double-clicking on the INSTALL icon.
The different software programs which are being installed have own documentation files, if neces-
sary, in form of additional ReadMe files on the disk.
